DeltaGen: Accelerating Scientific Discovery Through Cloud Computing
Building a platform that transforms how researchers analyze complex genetic data
The Background
DeltaGen approached LabFox with a critical challenge facing modern scientific research: the growing gap between the massive amounts of genetic data being generated and the computational tools available to analyze it. Their vision was to create a cloud-based platform that would democratize access to advanced genetic analysis, allowing researchers at institutions of all sizes to process complex datasets without requiring specialized IT infrastructure or computational expertise. They wanted to remove the technical barriers that were slowing scientific progress and enable researchers to focus on discovery rather than data processing.
The Partnership
LabFox partnered with DeltaGen's scientific team to develop a solution that would bridge the gap between cutting-edge data science and practical research needs.

Key Features Delivered:
Scalable Cloud Processing
A distributed computing architecture capable of dynamically scaling to handle datasets ranging from gigabytes to petabytes without performance degradation.
Intuitive Scientific Workflow Builder
A visual interface allowing researchers to design complex analysis pipelines without writing code, making advanced techniques accessible to all scientists.
Collaborative Research Environment
Tools enabling multiple researchers to work simultaneously on the same datasets and analyses, with version control and attribution tracking.
Comprehensive Security Framework
End-to-end encryption and compliance features ensuring sensitive genetic data remains protected while meeting regulatory requirements.
Tackling Challenges Together
While LabFox handled much of the overhead Sarus sought to avoid, the partnership was not without its hurdles:
Processing Enormous Datasets
Developing an architecture that could efficiently handle 10+ terabyte genetic datasets required innovative approaches to distributed computing and data storage.
Simplifying Complex Workflows
Creating interfaces that made sophisticated bioinformatics accessible to researchers without computational backgrounds demanded deep collaboration between scientists and designers.
Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
Building a platform that met the stringent security and privacy requirements for genetic data across multiple jurisdictions required careful architecture and documentation.
The Result
The DeltaGen platform transformed how genetic research is conducted, processing data 85% faster than previous systems while reducing the learning curve for new users from weeks to days. Researchers reported a 3x increase in productivity, with many able to pursue analyses that were previously impossible due to computational limitations. The platform's success extended beyond DeltaGen's initial user base, with five additional research institutions adopting the platform through licensing agreements within the first year of launch.
What's Next
With Lift-Pro successfully launched, Sarus is exploring next-gen features:
Integration with emerging AI analysis techniques
Expanded visualization capabilities for complex genetic relationships
Enhanced collaboration tools for international research teams
Direct integration with laboratory sequencing equipment
The groundwork is laid for Sarus to scale into a category leader — and LabFox remains a key partner on that journey.
