API Reference: Connecting to AlphaGenome

GammaHelix utilizes a Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) architecture. To run predictions on this platform, you must connect directly to the underlying model using an AlphaGenome API Key.

What does the API do?

The API acts as a secure bridge between our local interface and the AlphaGenome compute clusters. It transmits your sequence, processes the deep-learning weights across your requested tissues, and returns the raw tensors which GammaHelix then visualizes.

How to get an API Key

1. Visit the Portal: Go to the AlphaGenome Account Settings.
2. Profile Setup: Fill in the required details, it should appear something like this "What is your role?", "How did you hear about us?" and "How often do you use APIs?"
3. Affiliation: Provide your professional details, such as Organization, University, or other affiliation(s).
4. Terms of Service: Review the legal guidelines carefully and check the box to accept the Terms and Service. Finalize: Click on "Accept and Continue."

Important: Once you continue, your API key will be displayed at the top of the screen. API keys are sensitive; never share your API key with unauthorized parties or in public repositories.
