About us

We compress DNA.

gene.zip is a company based in San Francisco, California focused entirely on DNA compression. Genomic datasets are growing faster than storage budgets — we build the tools that shrink sequencing archives dramatically while guaranteeing a byte-exact, lossless restore of every base.

What we do
Lossless by design
Every byte restores exactly. No approximation, no lost reads.
Built for scale
From a single genome to petabyte-scale sequencing archives.
Made in SF
San Francisco, California.

Our team works at the intersection of bioinformatics and storage engineering. We obsess over one problem: making the world's genomic data smaller, cheaper to keep, and faster to move — without ever compromising its integrity.
