Consumer genomics platform Helix has unveiled its DNA Product Studio, designed to help its partners develop and test new genomics apps. The company is also working with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on a project that will allow researchers to sequence genomes from human blood samples in order to create personalized medicine for patients. Also included is an insight API, which provides a library of results of genetic traits or conditions, and embedded apps that allow partners to launch a site on the platform without coding. “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.” Helix aims to encourage more partners to enter the space, potentially leading to more products.
