Scalable software
for complex biology.

We help our clients turn large, fragmented genomics data into actionable biological signal.

Our expertise in action

We build power tools
that are a joy to use

Biological data can be full of insights, but only if you can actually find them. We create interactive, high-performance visualization tools that make complex genomic data intuitive.

Showcase We built Circa to help biologists create circos plots in minutes, replacing complex command-line tools with an intuitive interface. Circa has been cited in over 250 papers, and was used to create plots that appeared on the cover of Cancer Research, Genetics, and Plant Science Today.

We build cloud infrastructure
at genomics scale

Inspecting genomic data shouldn't require waiting for large downloads or spinning up heavy cloud instances. We create high-performance, browser-native tools that make cloud datasets more accessible.

Showcase We built 42basepairs to let researchers quickly explore, visualize and subset specific genomic regions, directly from cloud storage. We do this using pre-existing file indexes (e.g. BAI, TBI, FAI) to fetch just the bytes we need, and we provide custom visualizations that we always wished we had.

We build interactive
compute environments

Using biowasm, our WebAssembly-powered ecosystem, scientists can securely run bioinformatics tools in a web app for on-the-fly compute. We can integrate these environments into your internal tools to let your scientists inspect data outside production pipelines, without wasting time installing bioinformatics tools.

Showcase We built sandbox.bio to lower the barrier to entry to learning bioinformatics. Training biologists on using command-line tools usually requires troubleshooting the quirks of each student's computer, or spinning up costly machines on the cloud. Our platform uses WebAssembly to run a Linux command-line in the browser, and comes pre-packaged with essential tools like samtools, BLAST, kraken2, and many more.

We build custom data viz
for new biology

When off-the-shelf tools aren't enough for new biological data types, we engineer custom visualization tools to help you make sense of those new modalities.

Showcase We built Ribbon to solve the unique challenges of visualizing structural variations in long-read sequencing data. The true power of long reads is hidden when the tools we use are built for short reads, and the same is true for any new biological data type.

Leading the technical conversation

Over 48,000 scientists are subscribed to our YouTube channel, where we share our insights, and interview domain experts to help us understand the future of our field.
