Workflow

Helixio is a service provider specializing in genomics, transcriptomics and bioinformatics. We offer standardized or fully customized services to meet the specific needs of each project.

Our scientific team accompanies you at every step of your study. Whether it is complex samples, specific scientific issues or particular technical constraints, we support you in choosing the most appropriate strategy for your objectives. From nucleic acid extraction to sequencing, then bioinformatics analysis and data interpretation, each step of the workflow is customized according to your project.

During an initial discussion, we take the time to understand your scientific problem, the nature of your samples, and your deadline constraints in order to define together the most relevant solution. The sequencing parameters (number and length of reads), as well as the design of bioinformatics analyses, are defined with you.

We will prepare a budget proposal tailored to your project. Contact us to assess your needs: this approach is non-binding. The scientific interest of your project is our main motivation!

Helixio is eligible for the research tax credit as a service provider (CIR).

A dedicated project manager accompanies you throughout the study. He is your privileged contact to ensure the follow-up of the project, answer your questions and exchange with you until the restitution of the results, and beyond if necessary.

The nature of your samples determines the quality controls implemented in order to assess their integrity and compliance before any stage of preparation. Our DNA and RNA extraction protocols are optimized for a wide variety of biological matrices, including complex samples, ultra-low input or degraded samples.

You are informed at each key stage of your project (from sample reception, nucleic acid extraction (DNA/RNA), library preparation, sequencing to bioinformatics analysis).

At the end of the project, we provide you with a detailed analysis report along with all the data produced during the study. You remain the full owner of your data, which is treated with the strictest confidentiality. They are kept on our servers for a period of two to six months, depending on the technology used, in order to allow you to retrieve them with confidence.
