A great day for #FAIRdata and polygenic score research - the PGS Catalog continues to grow past 5000 scores! In honour of the occasion Florent Yvon & I commissioned some AI art (you should see the ones we scrapped). A massive congrats to the whole PGSCatalog.org team!

Big shout out to those researchers who made their data available in PDB over the years The Chemistry Nobel Prize winners today relied on that open academic data to train their models We wouldn't have these advances if researchers hadn't made 200,000 protein structures available

We are looking for a new colleague!

Weekly recap: Nextflow workflow for polygenic scoring, WES+imputation > WGS, DL method for splice site prediction, metagenomics profiling, and a new NIST/GIAB matched tumor-normal with 13 sequencing modalities 1/ 🧵

💥💥💥New preprint 💥💥💥on the EuPRI resource. Where we reconstruct the motifs for 34,736 RBPs and study their function and evolution. Joint work with Tim Hughes (Toronto), Matt Weirauch, @LXandR_, Deb Ray, Kaitlin Laverty and many more. More details to come

HELP! Which information would you like to see in NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog regarding #ancestry? 📝 Fill out the survey (less than 1 min!) shorturl.at/kkCEZ 🗣️ Share with #gwas colleagues #OpenAccess #Diversity #FAIRprinciples

New PhD studentship opportunities! The Cambridge BHF CRE will be funding non-clinical 3-year PhD studentships, with a hope to recruit people interested in interdisciplinary projects 👉For more information & how to apply please visit jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49483/ 📅Apply by 16 Jan!

📣 Thrilled to announce our collaborative tutorial with EMBL-EBI Training! Dive into the world of polygenic scores and explore the PGS Catalog resources (including pgsc_calc) - ideal for those seeking a comprehensive yet quick overview. Access it online at buff.ly/CEBWMio!
