Ohalo Genetics is an American agricultural biotechnology company founded in 2019 and led by CEO David Friedberg, developing plant-breeding platforms and proprietary crop varieties. Its flagship Boosted Breeding technology — marketed as "2x + 2x = 4x" — alters the reproductive circuitry of parent plants so each parent passes its entire genome to the next generation rather than a random half, producing polyploid offspring that carry the full genetic contribution of both parents and, in early field trials, substantially higher yields. Ohalo pairs this with an Agile Breeding service and a True Seed program that ships uniform, disease-free seedlings directly to growers, with active programs in potato, almond (the FruitionOne self-fertile Nonpareil variety), strawberry and corn, delivered through partnerships such as the Allied Potato partnership and a strawberry consortium. The company sells plant genetics and breeding services to agricultural partners; it is not a software vendor and publishes no public developer program, API, SDK or machine-readable contract.
Ohalo Genetics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agriculture, AgTech, Biotechnology, and Genetics.
Ohalo Genetics’ developer surface includes engineering blog and 6 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

- name: Ohalo Limited (Data X-Ray)
url: https://www.ohalo.co/
relationship: unrelated-name-collision
note: London-based data discovery and security company behind the Data X-Ray data-governance product, with a public GitHub
organization at https://github.com/Ohalo-Ltd that includes a "security-first React starter for applications built on the
Data X-Ray public API". It is a different company from Ohalo Genetics (ohalo.com, agricultural biotechnology, United States)
and shares nothing but the name — its Data X-Ray API must never be attributed to Ohalo Genetics. The Ohalo Genetics GitHub
organization is https://github.com/ohalogenetics, whose two public repositories are both forks of third-party projects
(karpathy/autoresearch and onshape-to-robot) and contain no first-party API or contract.
