The Allen Institute Cell Lineage Reconstruction DREAM Challenge was an open science competition to create computational solutions to biomedical research questions. This challenge took place from October 15, 2019 to January 31, 2020 and was hosted on the Synapse platform of Sage Bionetworks. The competition consisted of eleven international teams working on three subchallenges focused on reconstructing cell lineages using datasets containing various sizes and types.
CCB/EECS Professor, Nir Yosef, was part of one of three winning teams that tied for Subchallenge 1, which focused on reconstructing a small cell lineage tree that has fewer than 100 cells using video microscopy data.
