Out today in Nature Genetics! Important new updates to the Polygenic Score (PGS) Catalog, & a new software tool that simplifies the calculation of polygenic scores in the context of genetic ancestry 👉 tinyurl.com/fa5ts5a3 Sam Lambert @minouye271 Dr. Scott C. Ritchie Florent Yvon

📣 New updates to the PGS Catalog. These include multi-ancestry data and a new Calculator to simplify PGS calculations across different ancestries. Learn more about how these updates could enable more equitable disease risk predictions. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/tec…

📢 The Polygenic Score (PGS) Catalog has been updated, including data added from multi-ancestry or non-European populations and a PGS Catalog calculator. The project is a collaborative effort between Cambridge University, EMBL-EBI and NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog. Learn more: hubs.li/Q02Rdfc60

Important updates to the largest open #database for #polygenicscores could generate more equitable disease risk predictions for diverse range of #ethnicbackgrounds, thanks to work by Cambridge Baker Systems Genomics Initiative Nature Genetics @minouye271 baker.edu.au/news/institute…

Check out the latest developments of all things PGS Catalog, out now in Nature Genetics (🔗: rdcu.be/dVakA )! In this paper we describe big increases in the data content (and diversity) and our tool for PGS calculation (github.com/PGScatalog/pgs…).

Pleased to be part of this work through Cambridge Baker Systems Genomics Initiative, a research partnership between the Baker Institute & Cambridge University to expand our ability to access big data & expertise to target approaches in #diseaseprediction & #personalisedmedicine

Proud to support research published in Nature Genetics that has added multi-ancestry & non-European population data to make calculating PGS easier and more reproducible: bit.ly/4eQxDxV Cambridge Baker Systems Genomics Initiative EMBL-EBI Cambridge University Cambridge University Hospitals NHS National Institute for Health and Care Research Photo: Karen Arnott/EMBL-EBI

Really enjoyed being part of the International Day of Women in Statistics and Data Science with Leandra Bräuninger & Dr Elinor Laws! Thanks Data Science for Health Equity for inviting me, and to the organisers Caucus for Women in Statistics and Data Science 😄

>5000 Polygenic scores now available at PGSCatalog.org! As of today's release we've broken 5k PGS, indexing data from 673 unique publications. A big thank you to the authors submitting their data and our team in pursuit of #openscience, #FAIRdata, and reproducibility!

Looking to the future, we ask what kind of genetic variation will be a priority for genome wide studies in the coming years, and how can we make sure the data is FAIR? Read more Nature Reviews Genetics 👇Thanks to Tomas Fitzgerald & all involved! nature.com/articles/s4157…

Out in Nature Communications! Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a serious condition where the abdominal aorta enlarges & can rupture CEU colleagues used a polygenic risk score (PRS) to investigate the genetic risk & if you can use PRS to inform age for screening 🔗 tinyurl.com/mr3mupbc

Interested in software tools for calculating polygenic scores? Sam Lambert & @nebfield are giving an EMBL-EBI Training webinar December 4th about our pgsc_calc tool and it's capabilities for reproducible PGS calculation: ebi.ac.uk/training/event…! Join in or catch the recording after.

🚨We're recruiting! Interested in making science and computing more environmentally friendly? Now is the time! Very excited to build a research group at Cambridge University to expand our Green Algorithms work thanks to the support of the Wellcome green-algorithms.org/join-us/

My group's work dissecting the contribution of common variants to rare neurodevelopmental conditions is now out at nature.com/articles/s4158…. See this thread from co-first authors Qinqin Huang and Emilie Wigdor with a summary of the key findings.

Happy holidays from all of us at the CEU! 🎄Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🌟
