What we do

Three areas where we help biotech teams move faster

Custom software development

We embed with your team to build internal tools, platforms, and workflow software for molecular biology and synthetic biology. Purpose-built software that fits your science.

Software tools & libraries

We build tools and libraries for molecular biology and synthetic biology. Some are open-source for the community, others are licensed or built into client engagements.

Explore tools

Workflow design & integration

We help biotech teams design and connect software systems across their experimental workflows. From LIMS to lab automation, we make it work together.

How we work

Studio model: deep technical partnership and trust.

Extension of your team

We embed as long-term partners and take ownership of your software and data systems, so your team can focus on your science and your customers.

Built to scale

Documented, tested software that becomes your team’s source of truth for experimental data.

Twelve years in life science R&D

Since 2014 we’ve built software for synthetic biology, molecular design and lab automation teams.

Software tools & libraries

Libraries, APIs, and developer tools for molecular biology and synthetic biology

View all tools

An interactive DNA sequence viewer for the web. Supports GenBank, FASTA, and SBOL formats with linear and circular map views.

JavaScriptvisualization

A Python library for DNA assembly automation. Covers protocol design, plasmid annotation, and robotic picklist generation.

Pythonautomation

Repository-based plasmid design. Finds the least-cost combination of existing DNA repositories to assemble a target plasmid.

Corteva Agriscience

Vector Design Platform

Lattice designed and implemented an internal software system for a yeast assembly workflow to generate vector designs that adhered to custom structural and functional rules. The platform enables vector designers to rapidly construct plant expression vectors without design errors that would minimize assembly efficiency in vivo.

ReactTypeScriptDNA Design

Asimov

Op-Tracker

We designed and implemented a custom UI for organization, management, and tracking of experimental operations into larger groups of jobs. The software supported batching experimental operations at scale and generating instruction sets dynamically.

Twist Bioscience

Order Management API

Lattice designed and engineered Twist Bioscience’s first customer-facing DNA ordering system and API. The REST API provides customer access to Twist’s DNA synthesis ordering and manufacturing pipeline.

“The team at Lattice Automation is expert at understanding the needs of the synthetic biology industry - highly intelligent and strategic in their recommendations.”

Emily Leproust, Ph.D.

CEO & Co-Founder, Twist Bioscience Corporation

“Lattice is a highly skilled and uniquely capable firm with multitudes of talent on-board. They expertly met our requirements and their delivery on change requests were lightning-fast. I would certainly recommend Lattice as a highly reliable partner to build world-class synthetic biology tools.”

Visu Annaluru, Ph.D.

Research Scientist, Corteva Agriscience, Agriculture Division of DowDuPont

“Lattice's ability to provide customized bio-design automation software allowed us to bootstrap our internal automation capabilities much more quickly than would have been normally possible for a company of our size. In addition, we own the code which is important for our long term goals.”

Alec Nielsen, Ph.D.

Founder & CEO, Asimov

“Lattice's expertise in algorithm development for synthetic biology has added tremendous value to enEvolv. Through custom integration of Lattice's codebase with enEvolv algorithms, together we're building the premier next generation platform for design and machine learning from massive libraries of engineered enzymes and strains. Lattice has provided a high level of engagement from day 1 and would be a tremendous complement to any in-house software engineering team.”

Jay Konieczka, Ph.D.

Co-Founder & COO, enEvolv

Built by scientists and engineers

Our team combines deep expertise in software engineering with hands-on experience in molecular biology labs. We've built software at biotech companies and shipped open-source tools used by researchers worldwide.
