While we hope that the data we curated would be of interest [1], you are
free to use any open data set for the challenge! In fact, we would be really
happy to see a submission building on an initiative like WikiPathways!
So I look forward to your submission and do get in touch with our team [2]
if you have any further questions or would like to discuss what you intend
to do. We would love to hear from you!

Thanks,

Sander
