Abstract excerpt
To enable large-scale application of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) in a computationally efficient manner, we translate a widely used PRS construction method, PRS-continuous shrinkage, to the Julia programming language, PRS.jl. On nine different traits with varying genetic architectures, we demonstrate that PRS.jl maintains accuracy of prediction while decreasing the average runtime by 5.5×. Additional programmatic...
