Algorithmic fairness metrics have made big inroads in the AI/ML fields to investigate model bias. A clever PhD student (@clairecoffey.bsky.social) thought, why don't you see these methods applied to CVD risk prediction or polygenic risk scores? Enter our new preprint: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Current polygenic risk scores are unlikely to exacerbate unfairness in cardiovascular disease risk prediction

Background: Current cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models place many individuals in an intermediate risk category where clinical decision-making remains uncertain, highlighting a…

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

We're working closely with our PredictDB colleagues to bring you an integrated resource for multi-omic predictors

We're happy to announce that PrediXcan GTExV8 expression predictors are now annotated and openly available via OmicsPred! www.omicspred.org

More info www.omicspred.org/publication/...

OmicsPred is an atlas of genetic scores for prediction of multi-omics data.

Super excited to see beginning integration of PredictDB into OmicsPred!

We've annotated/deposited the GTExV8 gene expression predictors so they are now available alongside all the other multi-omic predictors at www.omicspred.org

More on its way... a wonderful collab with @hakyim.bsky.social & co!

📣 Latest from the lab: Performance of deep-learning-based approaches to improve polygenic scores www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Its thought deep learning will substantially improve PGS but the reality is MANY have tried but no/little gain has been seen so far. Here we report our negative results.

I també demanen que Ucraïna es retiri de tot el territori que Rússia afirma que és seu (i no controla). És bastant lamentable que un mitjà publiqui aquesta notícia així sense donar cap context.
