Developers

Sequencing offers an open API and a Developer Center so you can add genetic analysis to your own apps. You access this analysis through app chains, without needing any background in genetics. The platform handles the genetic interpretation and returns a straightforward result to your app.

What is an app chain?

An app chain is a single round trip between your app and the Sequencing platform. Your app sends an API call, the platform performs the genetic analysis, and an API response is returned to your app. You do not have to build or maintain any of the genetic analysis yourself.

Do I need to know genetics or learn a new language?

No. The platform is built to be easy to integrate:

• You do not need to know anything about genetics, since the platform handles the analysis.
• You do not need to learn genetics terminology or a new programming language to use it.

What do API responses look like?

Most app chain responses are a simple Yes or No. For example, the app chain "More likely to be better at endurance sports" returns a result based on the analysis of that user's genes:

• If the user's genes predispose them to excel at endurance sports, the response is Yes.
• If the user's genes do not predispose them to excel at endurance sports, the response is No.
