Biological data is growing exponentially. It’s difficult to reconcile and work with all of it. That’s why we’re building a Cloud for Biology.

The Cloud for Biology

Pre-configured for high-throughput biological data, enabling immediate analysis following best data practices.

Bulk RNA-Seq has become the workhorse for a lot of genomics research, but computational infrastructure around it had not kept up. Latch is about to change that. For my bio-curious friends 😉 here is a very simplified primer on what bulk RNA-seq is...👇

No Elliot, you and others who think software grows in trees and should be given away freely is the real problem here. This mentality has kept biotech far behind in computing, now that large bio data is making software a requirement, your mindset is coming back to bite us all.

Why does biotech codebase cost insane amounts of $$$? (looking at @SnapGene , @Geneious , @benchling , @LatchBio ) Where are the opensource communities for biotech code like what @TimothyStiles is building? That's like charging programmers for using coding frameworks. Kinda insane.
