Case Study: Metagen achieves faster metabarcoding analysis and better data access with LatchBio

Metagen speeds NGS analysis 10x with LatchBio

Metagen, an Australian agricultural biotechnology company, faced significant challenges in processing its metabarcoding data. Their sole computational expert wasted hours manually managing AWS infrastructure to run analyses, creating bottlenecks that delayed time-sensitive results for growers. Additionally, scientists struggled to access data and link sequencing files with relevant metadata and images.

By implementing LatchBio's platform, Metagen automated its data processing and made it accessible to its entire team. The solution from LatchBio saved the company from needing to hire a full-time engineer, accelerated NGS analysis times by 10x, and empowered all eight scientists to query and analyze data themselves, removing computational bottlenecks and speeding up customer reporting.
