Dear Colleague,    

We are pleased to announce that the DREAM8 Challenges are now open for participation.  During the “Challenge season” spanning from June 10 to September 15, 2013, Sage Bionetworks and DREAM will run the three Challenges described below.  Best performers in the DREAM8 Challenges will be invited to present at the RECOMB/ISCB conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics, with DREAM Challenges (November 8-12, Toronto, Canada) with travel expenses covered by the Sage/DREAM organizers. Sage Bionetworks and DREAM are also working with high impact journals to ensure that the methodology developed by the Challenges' best performers will be considered for publication under the Challenge-assisted Peer Review format.

  1. HPN-DREAM Breast Cancer Network Inference Challenge: Infer the signaling networks in breast cancer cell lines
  2. NIEHS-NCATS-UNC DREAM Toxicogenetics Challenge: Predict individual response to environmental and pharmaceutical chemicals
  3. The Whole-Cell Parameter Estimation DREAM Challenge: Infer the kinetic parameters underlying biological processes in whole cell models
