Our mission

Project MinE seeks to identify genetic variants that contribute to the development and progression of ALS by analyzing the DNA of a large number of ALS patients and comparing it to healthy controls.
We aim to establish a comprehensive, publicly accessible repository of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data from ALS patients and controls, fostering collaboration and data-sharing across the global research community.
