Wish it was easier to calculate PGS in trusted research environments (TRE) like DNAnexus or the All of Us workbench? Us to! We've been hard at work on a new version of pgsc_calc to make it more scalable in those TREs! Introducing pgsc_calc v3.0.0-alpha.1: pgsc-calc.readthedocs.io/en/v3-alpha.1/

Stay tuned here for upcoming updates to pgsc_calc (github.com/PGScatalog/p...), our tool for reproducible PGS calculation. Our next version aims to increase the scalability to WGS data in cloud trusted research environments (e.g. All of Us).
