Powering modern genomic medicine

Helix combines advanced sequencing, AI-powered interpretation, and the largest clinical genomics network to deliver diagnostic answers today—and lifetime value for your patients.

Clinical-grade sequencing. Built for what comes next.

The Helix Laboratory is one of the largest clinical genomics facilities in North America, processing tens of thousands of samples monthly with industry-leading turnaround times.

Exome+® Assay – Comprehensive exome with enhanced clinical regions

Multi-Modal Capability – Short-read and long-read whole genome sequencing

Sequence Once, Query Often® – One sample becomes a lifetime of queryable data

CAP/CLIA Validated – >99% sensitivity, 100% concordance

50+ AI Agents. Working in Parallel. Reasoning at Scale.

Wayfinder™ is Helix's proprietary interpretation engine—a swarm of specialized AI agents that interrogate every variant against global clinical evidence, then synthesize findings using ACMG/AMP guidelines.

Parallel Agent Architecture – Gene validity, population data, in-silico predictions, phenotype matching, literature mining, functional evidence—simultaneously

Continuous Evidence Monitoring – Daily surveillance of PubMed, ClinVar, gnomAD

Explainable Reasoning – Every classification shows its evidence chain

Expert Validation – Final review by board-certified geneticists

Millions of Lives. Powering Every Interpretation.

The Helix Research Network® is one of the largest clinicogenomic databases in existence—millions of patients with linked genomic and EHR data. When Wayfinder evaluates a variant, it queries real-world evidence: actual patient outcomes, true clinical penetrance, population-specific frequencies.

Clinicogenomic Scale – Millions of patients with exome data + longitudinal EHR

Real-World Evidence – How variants actually manifest in real patients

Population Diversity – Representative of real-world clinical populations

Continuous Enrichment – Every test strengthens the network
