Helix

Helix is a population genomics company operating an end-to-end precision health platform - a proprietary Exome+ next-generation sequencing assay, a CLIA/CAP-certified clinical lab, and bioinformatics tooling - that enables health systems, life sciences companies, and payers to integrate genomic data into clinical care and research at population scale. Through its DNA Product Studio, Helix exposes a partner-gated developer surface - a Genomics API (direct programmatic access to 100M+ base pairs including SNPs, indels, and copy number variants with panel-grade coverage of actionable genes), an Ancestry API (continental ancestry for 6 global populations or regional ancestry for 26+ populations), and an Insight API (user-specific results for hundreds of traits and conditions, from single-marker traits to machine-learning polygenic risk scores) - alongside Embedded Apps and an App Acceleration Framework for building white-label DNA products. API access is enterprise/partner-gated and provisioned through Helix partnerships; there is no public self-serve developer portal or openly published API specification, so the API surface below is modeled from Helix's public product documentation.

Helix publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Genomics, Population Genomics, Sequencing, Exome, and Precision Health.

Helix’s developer surface includes documentation and 3 more developer resources.
