Uncovering the roots of Parkinson's disease, together
A global research initiative
Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) is fostering collaboration and resources to better understand the underlying causes of Parkinson’s disease. With scale, transparency, and open access data sharing, we believe we can accelerate the pace of discovery, and inform the path to a cure.
We’re excited to share an update on recent advancements across the ASAP portfolio that fill critical knowledge gaps, promote the rapid dissemination of scientific insights, expand resource accessibility, and support the next generation of Parkinson’s researchers.
ASAP and Allen Institute are teaming up to help researchers unlock insights into neurodegenerative diseases. We are uniting Collaborative Research Network (CRN) Cloud data from 3 million human cells across 9 brain regions from individuals with Parkinson’s into the Allen Brain Cell (ABC) Atlas visualization tool, which already contains 6.4 million human cells. This expansion is an increase of nearly 50%, and marks the first time data from patients with Parkinson’s disease is included in the ABC Atlas.
GP2 announced the 10th data release on the Terra and the Verily® Workbench platforms in collaboration with AMP® PD. This release includes 11,109 additional genotyped participants and 13,339 additional WGS participants.
