Twenty years ago, a typical biological experiment generated 3-5 megabytes of information. Today, a routine synthetic biology workflow produces anywhere from 1,000 to 40,000 terabytes. That is a billion times more data! Such a large number of data points is simply impossible to interpret by human eye. This is why almost every bio lab today has to set up custom bioinformatics pipelines, invest in cloud computing, and master advanced data visualization software – all that just to see the results of their experiments.A San Francisco startup, LatchBio, hopes to make data analysis much easier for biologists with its full-stack biocomputing infrastructure
