Enterprise Platform: Customization & Integrations

Customization & Integrations — Make It Yours

Golden Helix isn't a black box. Custom report templates, evaluation scripts, REST APIs, CLI automation, and native LIMS integration let you tailor every step of the pipeline to your lab.

Adapt Every Layer of the Platform

From branded clinical reports to programmatic API access, Golden Helix provides the hooks to integrate with your existing infrastructure and tailor outputs to your lab's standards.

Custom Report Templates

Design branded, ACMG-compliant clinical reports with styleable templates. One-click generation converts analysis results into PDF or XML—no manual transcription, no formatting errors.

REST API & CLI Access

VSWarehouse exposes a performant REST API with full OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation for standardized, tooling-friendly integration and data exchange. VSPipeline provides command-line control over the full analysis engine for scripted batch processing and scheduling.

LIMS & EHR Integration

Connect your analysis pipeline to laboratory information systems, electronic health records, and billing platforms. Import sample data, export structured results, and automate reconciliation workflows.

The Integration Architecture

Data flows through a validated chain from external systems into analysis and back out to downstream consumers—all through documented, versioned interfaces.

01

Sample Ingestion

LIMS systems push sample metadata and sequencing data into VSWarehouse via REST API or watched file directories. Support for FASTQ, VCF, and structured metadata imports.

02

Custom Analysis Logic

Evaluation scripts automate ACMG scoring, custom annotation sources add institutional knowledge, and project templates encode validated filtering chains—all configurable per assay.

03

Report Rendering

VSReports converts analysis output into branded clinical documents. Choose from ACMG-standard templates or build custom layouts with your institutional branding, exported as PDF or XML.

04

Downstream Delivery

Structured results flow back to LIMS, EHR, and billing systems via REST API. Hospital systems query VSWarehouse for report counts, patient results, and reconciliation data.

Reports & Annotation — Your Way

Clinical reporting and annotation configuration are first-class features of the platform, not afterthoughts. Every report template, annotation source, and evaluation script is fully customizable.

Branded Report Templates

Styleable HTML-to-PDF templates that match your institutional identity. Include HGVS nomenclature, coverage data, pathogenicity assessments, and OMIM gene summaries automatically.

Custom Annotation Sources

Add institutional variant catalogs, custom frequency databases, and proprietary scoring models alongside curated public sources. VarSeq treats them identically in filtering workflows.

Evaluation Scripts

Automate ACMG scoring criteria, custom classification logic, and variant triage rules. Scripts execute within the validated pipeline, reducing manual steps while maintaining clinical auditability.
