The Pistoia Alliance Releases Exchangeable HELM

Press Release | Pistoia Alliance, quattro research GmbH | July 1, 2014

The Pistoia Alliance and quattro research are pleased to announce the release of an extension to the HELM biomolecular representation standard. HELM (Hierarchical Editing Language for Macromolecules) enables the representation of a wide range of biomolecules (e.g. proteins, nucleotides, antibody drug conjugates) whose size and complexity render existing small-molecule and sequence-based informatics methodologies impractical or unusable.

Universal Language: The Pistoia Alliance Takes on Indescribable Biology

By Aaron Krol | August 5, 2014

Best Practices WinnerThe Pistoia Alliance has previously sponsored new methods for querying databases and the scientific literature, and a more effective algorithm for compressing and sharing genetic sequencing data. Over the past year, another Pistoia project, HELM, has entered the public domain after gradual development by an assortment of Alliance members. An open source language and set of editing tools for working with large biomolecules, HELM has already become a foundational part of research in at least three large pharmaceutical companies.
