DREAM6: The 6th DIALOGUE ON REVERSE ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT AND METHODS

Dear Colleague,     
     
We would like to invite you to participate in the following DREAM6 challenges   

PLEASE NOTE THE LATEST CHANGES:

PURCHASE SYSTEM FOR CHALLENGE 1 READY.

1. Estimation of Model Parameter Challenge - Infer the kinetic parameters of three gene regulatory networks by iterative optimization and experimental design  NEW: DATA PURCHASE SYSTEM READY.

CHALLENGE 2 DATA IS ALL READY (NO CHANGES HERE)

2. Alternative Splicing Challenge - Reconstruct the alternatively spliced mRNA transcripts from short-read mRNA-seq data 

FINAL DATA STILL NEEDS TO BE POSTED FOR CHALLENGE 3 (CURRENT DATA IS A "DEMO" DATA)

3. Gene Expression Prediction Challenge - Predict gene expression from promoter sequences in eukaryotes

THE LAST REMAINING SUB-CHALLENGE (CHALLENGE 4) HAS BEEN POSTED

4. Molecular Classification of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Challenge - Diagnose Acute Myeloid Leukaemia from patient samples using flow cytometry data. NEW CHALLENGE.


To access the data sets, and descriptions of the DREAM6 challenges, please go to http://www.the-dream-project.org/challenges 

The best performers in these challenges will be invited  to present in the joint RECOMB Systems Biology/Regulatory Genomics/DREAM6 conference.
