The CAGI 4 Conference took place 25-27 March 2016 at UCSF Mission Bay, San Francisco, CA. This year's The CAGI 4 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 in November 2015 and the assessment phase concluded inFebruary 2016. There were a total of 174 predictions submitted from 38 groups. Predictors hailed from 13 countries representing academics, research institutes, and industry.
