The reason for this notice was that the people facilitating the data did so, in some cases, before their data was published. In particular: *Challenge #1: BCL6 targets challenge:* The gold standard will be posted when the owners get their papers published. After which you will be able to use this data for your publication purposes. For questions about this challenge, please contact <califano(at)c2b2.columbia.edu> *Challenge #2: Protein-Protein interaction challenge.* The gold standards is posted in our website. Please contact Haiyuan Yu <haiyuan_yu(at)dfci.harvard.edu> for permision to use the data. *Challenge #3: The five-gene-network challenge. * The gold standard is posted in our website. However, the original data has not been published by the data producers yet. Please contact Pia Cosma <piacosma(at)tigem.it> for authorization to use the data in any form. If you are using it for our Proceedings in the Annals of the NY Academy of Sciences, please do not mention that the data were obtained from a synthetic network, do not mention that it is coming from yeast, do not plot the qPCR data. Do not show the actual network topology. When referring to this data, please refer to the "DREAM five-gene-network challenge, Cantone et al, unpublished data" as a reference, until this work is published by Pia and colaborators. *Challenge #4: The Insilico network challenge. * The gold standard is posted in our website. This data can be used without problem. It was generated by Pedro Mendes. Please refer to Pedro Mendes and the DREAM project if you use this data. For questions on this data, please contact Pedro at: <pedro.mendes(at)manchester.ac.uk> *Challenge #5: The Genome-scale network challenge.* The gold standard is posted in our website. This data can be used without problem. It was generated in Tim Gardner's lab, and curated by Boris Hayete. Please refer to Tim Gardner and Boris Hayete and the DREAM project if you use this data. For questions on this data, please contact Boris at <boris(at)borisland.com> Thanks for your understanding and help on this. Gustavo Gustavo A. Stolovitzky, Ph.D. Adj.
