bitBiome, Inc

bitBiome is a synthetic biology company built from their proprietary microbial single-cell microfluidic sequencing technology (bit-MAP). We have spent the last few years building up a large and diverse database (bit-GEM) of over 2 billion microbial sequences (adding additional sequences at a rate of nearly 1 billion per year). bit-GEM draws from many sources including human, animal, and over half coming from environmental samples including soil, seawater and hot springs. bit-GEM therefore offers a unique source of natural enzymes not found in any other private or public sequence library available. Combining bit-GEM with bioinformatics, protein structure analysis tools, and machine learning, we have developed bit-QED, an end-to-end enzyme discovery and development platform. bitBiome offers a range of services from single cell genomics, database screening and shortlisting, to wet lab evaluation of target sequences and directed evolution campaigns. We are also focused on conducting in...
