Two ways to use gene.zip

Let us store it, or keep it entirely in your own cloud.

Managed storage

We store your genomic data

Upload via the API or CLI and we keep your compressed archives in your own private, per-account bucket — with instant random access and byte-exact restore. Nothing to run or operate.

Your private cloud

Run it in your own VPC

Deploy the engine on confidential compute inside your own AWS, Azure or GCP account. Your data never leaves your network, and the engine runs sealed. One-click GCP deploy available now.

At this tier gene.zip isn’t cheaper than your current storage — try a lighter tier. If you’re already on deep-archive cold storage, you may not see savings here.

Instant access
Millisecond reads and random region extraction — no rehydration wait.
Tools unchanged
Real BAM back out. samtools, GATK, bcftools, IGV all just work.
Byte-exact restore
Clinical tier reconstructs every byte of the original for audit & regulation.
No lock-in
Open documented format. Leave any time with a standard BAM in hand.

Figures are estimates anchored to your current bill. Your final savings are confirmed by a no-cost pilot that compresses a sample of your own archive and verifies a byte-exact restore. Savings depend on your current storage class — if you’re already on deep-archive cold storage you may see little or none.
