What kind of data will my team be able to access?

Participants in the Longitude Prize on ALS will have access to a rich and diverse collection of high-quality datasets, curated to support innovative research and discovery. These datasets are sourced from leading initiatives including Project MinE, ALS Compute, the New York Genome Center, Answer ALS, ALS TDI and Capture ALS, and will be offered through a Trusted Research Environment.

The available data includes:

1. Whole Genome Sequence (WGS) data
   Harmonised WGS data from over 9,000 ALS cases and 3,500 controls, providing a strong foundation for genomic exploration and target discovery.

2. Multi-Omics data
   Integrated epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic datasets from more than 2000 cases, enabling multi-layered molecular analysis.

3. Clinical data
   Rich, well-annotated clinical metadata linked to genomic and omics data, allowing exploration of disease progression and heterogeneity.

4. Openly Available Datasets
   Participants will receive guidance and support to access additional valuable public datasets, expanding research possibilities.
