Signal ↔ sequence pairing
POD5 read UUIDs and move tables link raw current to A/C/G/T so the helix is not just pretty — it is evidence-aware.
Stella Nova Education · Scientific instrument
Long-read genomics, made observable.
Nanopore Helix Explorer turns ONT basecalls and raw POD5 signal into a reproducible, evidence-linked 3D helix workspace — with membership compute for real research throughput.

Why it exists
From raw current to defensible sequence evidence.
Most viewers show sequences. Helix Explorer ties measured ionic current, basecalls, and optional reference alignment into one instrument so you can see what the data actually supports.
▤
Reproducible reports
Build methods-aware scientific reports with provenance, metrics, and exportable packages for lab notebooks and manuscripts.
⚡
Membership compute
Tiers map to POD5 processing units and storage so individual researchers and labs can scale without managing infrastructure.
Workbench
More than a viewer — a genetics workspace.
ONT Helix Explorer
Full instrument: basecalled files, hosted POD5, reference FASTA, layers, timeline, and report builder.
Project library
Save sessions, track compute spend, and keep evidence packages organized under your membership.
API keys & quotas
Researcher and Lab tiers unlock POD5 API keys and higher monthly compute units for production runs.
