2/ Modern biology requires wrangling massive datasets. Yet talented bioinformaticians are so scarce that biologists often wait weeks for simple data analysis. This utterly cripples the research cycle, massively delaying breakthrough cures for cancer, heart disease, and aging.

3/ latch.bio lets biologists run CRISPR computational analysis in their browser without a single line of code. The flow is simple: upload sequence data, find a workflow, run a workflow on your data, and visualize the results.

4/ Today, our waitlist opens to the public. To our initial users at Berkeley, Stanford, & MIT. Thank you. Your feedback has been tremendous. To all the CRISPR labs, LatchBio is free for the academic community, and we’ll be onboarding new labs over the coming weeks.

6/ And this is just the start. These problems are prevalent across all of biotech. We envision building one of the great software companies of the 21st century, laying the bricks for the biocomputing revolution.

I feel like trying to SaaS the job of a bioinformatician isn't really going to end well. These are people who can help design experiments to leverage computational resources. Implying they're not useful assets as scientists is quite a disservice. SaaS the boring stuff though!
