Helicos Biosciences Corporation is a biotechnology research company based in Lexington, Massachusetts. It has developed a single-molecule sequencing platform that enables direct measurement of RNA, cDNA, and DNA from samples without amplification or extensive sample manipulation. This approach allows researchers to observe billions of individual molecules with high accuracy and scalable throughput, addressing biases common to amplification-based sequencing methods. The company maintains a relatively small team focused on delivering this technology and its associated workflow and software to users.

Its primary customers are scientists and research teams seeking sequencing capabilities that minimize preparation steps while providing reliable results. Helicos has launched a sequencing services program that gives researchers access to its single-molecule sequencing technologies for DNA, cDNA, and direct RNA sequencing without owning the full system. In the biotechnology research landscape, the company is positioned as a provider of amplification-free sequencing solutions that aim to improve productivity and enable new discoveries.
