Can’t believe #ASHG25 is finally here! Excited to share what I’ve been working on as lead analyst for the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium 🧬👩‍💻

Join me at the Plenary Session on Friday, Oct 17 (5–6:30 PM) — I’ll be presenting some unpublished results from our genome-wide interaction study 👀

The Catalog isn't just a knowledgebase and source of polygenic scores, we also provide open-soruce tools to make PGS calculation easier and more reproducible! You can find our pgsc_calc tool on github (github.com/PGScatalog/p...) with extensive documentation (pgsc-calc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Let's start with introductions! The PGS Catalog is an open database of polygenic scores and the relevant metadata required for accurate application and evaluation. Everything is on our website www.PGSCatalog.org, and our newest publication describes how far we've come: rdcu.be/d1vTG since 2019!
