Genomic Foundation — Overview¶
Kind: engine · Demo: E1 · Source: core/engines/genomic-foundation

Illustrative. Genomic Foundation at a glance.
What it is¶
Turns raw sequencing reads into a list of the specific letters where a person's genome differs from the reference.
Why it matters¶
Every downstream answer — which variant, which drug, which trial — depends on this list being right.
Decision support for a qualified clinician — never autonomous diagnosis or prescribing. Every output on this page is intended to inform a clinician's judgement, not replace it.
Honest limit¶
Alignment and variant calling require NVIDIA Parabricks, which is not installed on this box. Results shown today are pre-computed.
Endpoints¶
:5000 — a single-service portal, so there is no separate API port
