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

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. dataportal.answerals.org #AnswerALS #Genomics

As the Navy marks 251 years, retired Lt. Cmdr. Matt Bellina has joined Champion Insights. The remote study investigates why veterans, athletes, and first responders face higher ALS rates via at-home blood samples and surveys. ChampionInsights.org #NavyBirthday #AnswerALS

ALS studies take months to set up. Patients do not have that time. Neuromine provides access to clinical data and stem cells from 1,100+ participants. Researchers can test drug targets immediately. Maintaining this head start costs $800k a year answerals.org/donate #AnswerALS

Answer ALS and Cedars-Sinai are turning patient blood into motor neurons. Scientists test every stem cell line for purity and a true genetic match. You can access the largest carefully checked collection ever created via Neuromine. dataportal.answerals.org #AnswerALS #iPSC

A Communications Biology study applied machine learning to Answer ALS motor neurons, identifying 110 protein biomarkers and a consistent drop in RPS29. This open data traces back to blood donations and remains free to use. answerals.org/research #ALSResearch

Tonight the Saints host the Falcons to celebrate 20 years since the Superdome reopened. New Orleans' own Steve Gleason founded Answer ALS and built Neuromine, offering free data to 700+ global research projects. Help keep it open and growing: answerals.org/donate #AnswerALS

Nearly 100 peer-reviewed papers rely on Answer ALS data to uncover molecular subtypes and predict progression. Open access ensures researchers can verify findings and accelerate discovery. Explore the research: answerals.org/research #OpenScience #AnswerALS #ALSResearch

ALS and Alzheimer's share surprising molecular overlaps. For #WorldAlzheimersDay, Answer ALS datasets are accessible alongside global Alzheimer's data in the AD Workbench, empowering researchers to evaluate cross-disease mechanisms. Explore Neuromine: dataportal.answerals.org

Batman relies on rigorous data and applied technology. Answer ALS uses the same methodology. Through Cedars-Sinai, researchers can now access nearly 1,000 participant-derived motor neuron lines connecting clinical data to Neuromine dataportal.answerals.org #BatmanDay #ALSResearch

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 answerals.org/donate #Neuromine

Accessing an analyzable ALS dataset once required up to 18 months. Neuromine delivers data to researchers faster. Average ALS life expectancy is two to five years, making rapid access critical. Donations fund the work. answerals.org/donate #Neuromine #AnswerALS

On Patriot Day, we honor first responders. Military veterans, athletes, and first responders develop ALS at significantly higher rates. Champion Insights is a remote study enrolling 500 participants to uncover the cause. Enroll: ChampionInsights.org #PatriotDay #EndALS

90% of ALS cases are sporadic, lacking a known genetic cause. Identifying these origins requires massive datasets to reveal patterns across patient populations. Project Genesis will leverage 250 terabytes of Neuromine data to lead this search answerals.org/research/under… #ALSResearch
