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.

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.

Shared Answer ALS data helped identify the KIF5A gene. Discovering new ALS genes requires pooling whole-genome sequences across many groups. Neuromine keeps these genomes open to qualified researchers to advance the search.

A researcher using Neuromine can go from a request to an analyzable ALS dataset in about two weeks. Average ALS life expectancy is two to five years. The speed of the portal is just as critical as its size. Your donations fund this rapid access
