Platform technology

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, 99% 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 in Helix’s assay 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
