Living with ALS, Advisory Board Chair Ed Rapp donated his blood and data. He believes ALS breakthroughs fall like dominoes and big data is the missing domino. Your donation keeps this dataset open for researchers in 35 countries. answerals.org/donate #AnswerALS

Getting started on Neuromine costs researchers nothing. Build cohorts by genetic status or onset site, download specific data layers, and request matched biosamples and stem cell lines to validate findings. dataportal.answerals.org #AnswerALS #Neuromine

Answer ALS and ALS TDI merged data on Neuromine, expanding to 2,500+ harmonized profiles. This scale helps scientists study rare gene carriers. Harmonizing new data costs up to $1M a year. Donations keep it free for global research. answerals.org/donate #AnswerALS #ALSTDI

Answer ALS banked blood and spinal fluid from 1,000+ participants. Each sample connects to clinical data in Neuromine. Researchers can find a pattern in the data and test it directly on matched biological material. answerals.org/research/resea… #AnswerALS

Scientists used Answer ALS proteomics data to find markers linked to ALS progression and published their findings in an open-access journal. Both the data and the paper are free for anyone to read, check, and build upon. answerals.org/research #OpenAccessWeek #AnswerALS

The @NFL has committed $500K to Champion Insights, a study asking why athletes, veterans & first responders face up to 2x the risk of ALS. Grateful. 💙 Pictured: @SteveGleason & @nflcommish Roger Goodell at Domecoming. championinsights.org @ALSTDI @augiesquest

For #OAWeek, the theme is "The Cost of Knowledge". Neuromine charges researchers nothing to access 250 terabytes of harmonized ALS data. Keeping it free costs up to $1M a year. Donations pay that cost so researchers never have to. answerals.org/donate #AnswerALS
