Deep dive in to data sharing in the life sciences - a crucial but often undervalued practice. #bioinformatics #FAIRdata #LifeSciences

NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog is looking for a new team member embl.org/jobs/position/… - Experienced Bioinformatician Developer to work on our summary statistics resources. International team EMBL-EBI in Hinxton.

Africa is underrepresented in genomic studies. This isn’t all due to lack of genomic data but partly due to lack of motivation by African scientists to share their data as a result of previous exploitation, mistrust, and misuse of research participant samples and data. 1/4

We’ve just released a major update to our PGS calculation pipeline which allows normalisation of the different score distributions you may see when applying scores across different genetic ancestry/similarity groupings. Our GitHub is open for feedback 👇 github.com/PGScatalog/pgs…

My dept at Ulster University are hiring for 2x Lecturer (Asst Prof) posts. Come join us! I love the dept and city. Very affordable living. Ideally want researchers in any of: AI Computer Networks IoT/Pervasive Computing Games Development Neurotechnology my.corehr.com/pls/coreportal…

#Flybase is seeking two new members to join the Cambridge UK group: a metabolic pathway biocurator jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42797/ and a phenotype biocurator jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42825/. Prior #biocuration experience is not required, so these positions are great for both fly researchers...

You've lead a computational biology group + want to take the next step? Want to lead EMBL-EBI 's research+ take Europe's computational biology to the next level? Interested in living in Cambridge, working with colleagues across EMBL? This job is for you! embl.org/jobs/position/…

It was an honour to take part in this workshop and meet such a great bunch of people. Fantastic discussions were had and many more to come!

We're hiring a bioinformatician for the PGS Catalog team! If you're keen on polygenic scores, #FAIRdata, developing tools, and collaborating with colleagues NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog EMBL-EBI Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) this is for you! 🔗: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42946/

Pregnant women 🤰🏽🤰🏻🤰🏿🤰🏾🤰🏼 Listen to my brilliant colleague Nurin and book your COVID-19 vaccination today. It is very safe for you and baby, and much safer than COVID-19 infection (the negative replies are misinformed and come from general antivax propaganda)

Still open for another week! If you're a bioinformatician interested in polygenic scores check this opportunity out: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42946/ PGS Catalog NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog @minouye271 BHF Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit at Cambridge

If you're using our pgsc_calc tool please update to the latest version (v2.0.0-alpha.3 : github.com/PGScatalog/pgs…) as there some new features (updated reference panel of HGDP+1kG) and critical bug fixes! #PolygenicScores #OpenSource

We have done 1000's of GWAS for disease susceptibility. Are these results informative to understand disease progression? Through an international biobank collaboration, we try to answer this question. Check 👇

Stop, you’ll make us blush! ☺️

⏰Deadline extended! You now have until midnight (GMT) on 12 November to apply for our inaugural course covering #humanhealth and #humandisease using #bioinformatics tools and resources. Run in association with Human Ecosystems @EMBL: ebi.ac.uk/training/event…

NEWS!!! New studies downloads now available in the GWAS Catalog containing COHORTS + clearer indication of which studies have full summary statistics available! Old download versions will be deprecated and cease to be generated Dec 1st. Read more here: tinyurl.com/mr3tz32n

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…).

>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…
