A platform for accelerating genetic discoveries in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
The ALS Knowledge Portal enables browsing, searching, and analysis of human genetic information linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related traits, while protecting the integrity and confidentiality of the underlying data.
Knowledge Portal NetworkThe Knowledge Portal Network is an infrastructure that integrates, interprets, and presents human genetic data to spark insights into complex diseases.
