Gencove
Gencove is an enterprise analytics platform for low-pass whole genome sequencing (lpWGS). Its REST API lets customers upload FASTQ and array data, run samples through configurable analysis pipelines, track sample status, download deliverables (including merged VCFs, imputation and ancestry outputs), manage projects, batches, BaseSpace and S3 imports, and operate the Gencove Explorer compute environment. The platform is used across human health, agriculture and research to turn raw sequencing reads into genotypes, polygenic scores and ancestry at industrial scale. Access is via a web dashboard, the official `gencove` Python CLI/SDK, and a versioned HTTP API authenticated with an API key or JWT, with signed webhooks for analysis-completion events.
Gencove publishes 20 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Array API, Basespace API, Batch API, and 17 more. Tagged areas include Company, Health, Genomics, Sequencing, and Bioinformatics.
The Gencove catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Gencove’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 26 more developer resources.
Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life Sciences (Biotech and Pharma R&D) | distribution | 9.6 (thin) | 1 | - |
| GA4GH Genomics Standards (htsget, DRS, TES, WES, Beacon, Passports) | distribution | 9.6 (thin) | 1 | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
