Consumer genomics platform Helix has unveiled its DNA Product Studio , designed to help its partners develop and test new DNA apps . “For others, who may lack sizable teams in both areas, we're excited to offer a new suite of building blocks that will allow them to launch great DNA products quickly, supported by our policy, applied genomics, and bioinformatics teams.” The tool will include an ancestry API , allowing users to access ancestry for six global populations , plus a genomics API offering the ability to access a vast amount of genomic data . Also included is an insight API , which provides a view of results of genetic traits or diseases , and embedded apps that allow partners to launch a site on the platform without coding . Helix aims to encourage more partners to enter the space , potentially leading to more innovation .
