Open Problems NeurIPS Competition 2021

Summary Scaling from a dozen cells a decade ago to millions of cells today, single-cell measurement technologies are driving a revolution in the life sciences. Recent advances make it possible to measure multiple high-dimensional modalities (e.g. DNA accessibility, RNA, and proteins) simultaneously in the same cell. Such data provides, for the first time, a direct and comprehensive view into the layers of gene regulation that drive biological diversity and disease. In 2021 , we organized the first single-cell analysis competition at NeurIPS bringing together 280 participants to compete on an a
