  description: 'DERIVED BY API EVANGELIST - NOT PUBLISHED BY TWINSTRAND BIOSCIENCES.


    TwinStrand Biosciences publishes no product or developer API. This document was derived mechanically from the live WordPress REST route-discovery document at https://twinstrandbio.com/wp-json/ (349 routes across 18 namespaces, retrieved 2026-08-05), and covers only the subset that is anonymously readable and carries company content: publications, patents, posters, news, events, team members, pages, media, taxonomies and site search.


    Every path, parameter, default and bound below is taken verbatim from that discovery document. Write methods (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) are registered on most of these routes but require authentication and are deliberately omitted - this profile documents the public read surface only.


    The TwinStrand DuplexSeq analysis pipeline runs as cloud software hosted on the DNAnexus platform and is reachable only by customers with a DNAnexus project; it is not part of this contract.'
