Organization's 6,000-genome effort will power global ALS research through detailed long-read sequencing data made freely available to scientists worldwide
NEW YORK and MENLO PARK, Calif., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Target ALS, a nonprofit breaking down barriers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research, has partnered with PacBio (NASDAQ:PACB), a leading provider of high-quality, highly accurate long read sequencing platforms, to launch the largest global whole genome sequencing initiative for ALS to date. By applying PacBio's HiFi sequencing to more than 6,000 genomes from people with ALS and healthy controls, the project aims to detect structural variants, repeat expansions, and other hard-to-detect genetic features that may underlie the disease. As part of the ALS Global Research Initiative (AGRI), all data will be openly shared via the Target ALS Data Engine, removing barriers to access and enabling researchers around the world to uncover disease mechanisms and explore new pathways to treatment.
