Welcome to the CAGI experiment!
CAGI is hiring!
Applications are invited from qualified candidates to be part of the CAGI experiment for the posts project lead scientist [duties and qualifications] or postdoctoral fellow [duties and qualifications].CAGI 2015 Plans
Our intention is to have a CAGI 2015 prediction season in the spring & summer, assessment in late summer and fall, and a winter CAGI meeting. CAGI 2015 is enabled by funding from NHGRI that will support hiring a scientist to lead this experiment. We would greatly appreciate referrals of individuals who may be suitable for this interesting and essential job (job descriptions linked below)The CAGI 2013 conference program with presenters' slides is now available.
The Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation (CAGI, \'kā-jē\) is a community experiment to objectively assess computational methods for predicting the phenotypic impacts of genomic variation. In this experiment, modeled on the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP), participants are provided genetic variants and make predictions of resulting molecular, cellular, or organismal phenotype. These predictions are evaluated against experimental characterizations, and independent assessors perform the evaluations. Community workshops are held to disseminate results, assess our collective ability to make accurate and meaningful phenotypic predictions, and better understand progress in the field. From this experiment, we identify bottlenecks in genome interpretation, inform critical areas of future research, and connect researchers from diverse disciplines whose expertise is essential to methods for genome interpretation. We want to emphasize that CAGI is a community experiment to understand and improve the interpretation of genome variation. It is not a contest and all predictors are awarded recognition for their participation in the meeting.

This year's The CAGI 2013 results are now posted. The conference program page contains the full set of slides that were presented at the meeting. The abstract book contains abstracts describing the prediction methods. Each challenge page has the slides for talks given for that challenge as well as the challenge's answer key, assessor summary, and predictions.
The CAGI prediction season concluded on 25 April 2013, and the preliminary assessment phase concluded 1 June 2013. There were a total of 188 predictions submitted from 33 groups, a >50% increase in both submissions and groups over the previous CAGI experiment. Predictors hailed from 14 countries representing academics, research institutes, and industry.
