Latch vs. Basepair

Ability to publish workflow with a user-friendly interface

As biotech teams go towards pre-IND filing, knowing how a file has been processed, by whom, and when is mission-critical.

Latch provides an intuitive, MacOS-like file system to centralize all your files. Every file on Latch has a history of all modification events, including Users, applications, or workflows that have updated, uploaded, or downloaded the object in question

Interactive visualizations

While Basepair provides many pre-built interactive reports for RNA-seq, CHIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and more, Latch offers more tools to set up these custom visualizations yourself.

Latch Pods allow you to install and host interactive RShiny, Dash Apps, Streamlit Apps, or other web applications. Like Basepair, Latch also provides out-of-the-box visualizations for single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, and more.

Robust toolkit for developing scalable pipelines.

Basepair provides out-of-the-box assays, such as WGS, RNA-seq, CHIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and more. Basepair provides minimal self-serve documentation on how developers can upload their pipelines.

Latch puts the developer experience at the heart of our product. They can drop in existing Nextflow and Snakemake pipelines and release a workflow with a friendly GUI in a few command lines.

Developers can optimize their pipeline with interactive, real-time resource utilization reports or use a simple command to enter the task running for faster debugging. These tools become increasingly important as bioinformatics pipelines scale from hundreds of GBs to TBs and beyond.

Collaboration on all of your bioinformatics stack, not just files

Bioinformatics collaboration goes beyond just sharing a file—it involves dynamic interaction through RShiny and Dash App visualizations. It involves creating exact replicas of computing environments with all necessary dependencies and standardized scripts. It's about sharing specific slices of databases that house crucial sample metadata.

With Latch, sharing an RShiny App or a template that captures your entire RStudio or Jupyter Lab setup is easy, ensuring reproducibility for the entire team. You can also share a detailed registry of your samples and any relevant files.

Superior Insights, Guaranteed.

Transforming raw kit or assay data into actionable biological insights requires precise sample sheets, data inputs, workflow versions, and complex visualization application setup.

Latch simplifies this process by enabling the creation of multiple workspaces tailored for different teams or customers. As an Admin, you can compile essential elements of your workspace into an Analysis Package and transfer it to other workspaces in one click. Get reliable and reproducible insights every time.

Zero contract upfront. Simple, pay-as-you-go Pricing

Latch offers simple usage-based, pay-as-you-go pricing. You can simply enter your credit card and get started today.

Latch’s optimized infrastructure means you can process more samples for less. A RNA-seq sample costs $40 on Basepair but averages around $8 on Latch.
