About Basepair

Genomics is rapidly becoming mainstream but data analysis and interpretation are the biggest bottlenecks. Basepair’s mission is for scientists, physicians, and ultimately people to extract actionable insights from genomic data to help with research, diagnostics, drug discovery, and personal health decisions.

Basepair is an enterprise B2B SaaS for analytics and visualization of genomics data. Our customers include biopharma, molecular diagnostics, services, and some of the world’s top medical hospitals, e.g., Harvard Medical School, Stanford Univ, etc. We are funded by VCs, angel investors and have a front-row seat for the latest breakthroughs in life sciences.

We currently handle massive genomics data and have cloud deployments with many moving parts built using our custom workflow automation infrastructure. The architecture is modular and highly scalable with APIs into most parts of the system exposed to users for integration and automation.
