Gataca Corporation builds bioinformatics tools that expedite genomics research. We apply cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, so your team gets from raw sequencing data to reliable results faster.
That's us, somewhere in every read.
What we do
Tools, models, and pipelines that take the computational bottleneck out of genomics research.
Research tools
Six free, browser-based tools that speed up routine work, from primer design to variant review.
AI for genomics
Machine learning models that speed up interpretation and help surface patterns in large, complex datasets.
Genome and exome analysis
Alignment, variant calling, annotation, and interpretation-ready reports for whole-genome, exome, and targeted panels.
Transcriptomics
Bulk and single-cell RNA-seq: quantification, differential expression, clustering, and pathway analysis.
Pipelines and infrastructure
Reproducible, containerized workflows that run the same way on a laptop, a cluster, or the cloud.
Custom software
Tools, dashboards, and integrations built around your lab's data and the way your team works.
How a project runs
Scope
We learn your biological question, data types, and constraints, then agree on deliverables and timeline.
Build
We design the analysis or pipeline, validate it against known data, and share progress as we go.
Deliver
You get results, documented code, and a clear write-up of methods you can cite or hand to reviewers.
Support
We stay available for reruns, new samples, and questions once the work is in your hands.
Synthetic genomics, without the hype
Biology can now write DNA, not only read it — and AI has started to help design what gets written. We keep a plain-English guide to what that really means, with established results separated clearly from what has not happened yet.
Written genomes Established
Genomes assembled from manufactured DNA have been running cells since 2010, and a bacterium cut down to fewer than 500 genes has been studied since 2016 — with about a third of those genes still unexplained.
AI-designed biology Partly
Designed proteins work and won a Nobel Prize in 2024. Genome-scale sequence models are newer and useful for ranking candidates. No AI has designed a free-living organism, and none is close.
Micro-robots Early
Xenobots and anthrobots are clusters of living cells, not machines. DNA origami and biohybrid microrobots are real laboratory work. None of it is in routine clinical use.
Free bioinformatics tools
Six tools for everyday genomics work: sequence analysis, primer design, restriction mapping, alignment, codon optimization, and VCF review. Each runs in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
