Participants will be provided with a whole cell model of Mycoplasma genitalium and tasked with estimating the model parameters for specific biological processes from simulated data. The simulated data to be provided represents possible measurements in actual experiments: participants will will have a credit budget and will be able to purchase simulated data on demand with the aim to refine the parameters under estimation.

About DREAM Challenges
Sage Bionetworks and DREAM are convinced that running open computational Challenges focused on important unsolved questions in systems biomedicine can help advance basic and translational science. By presenting the research community with well-formulated questions that usually involve complex data, we effectively enable the sharing and improvement of predictive models, accelerating many-fold the analysis of such data. The ultimate goal, beyond the competitive aspect of these Challenges, is to foster collaborations of like-minded researchers that together will find the solution for vexing problems that matter most to citizens and patients.
