HelixTree is a premier tool for extracting useful information from your data. At its heart is a sophisticated data analysis engine enhanced to support your ability to analyze genetics data. Golden Helix offers three ways for you to learn the capabilities and features of HelixTree.

The first and most immediate approach is this manual. In it you will find directions for installing HelixTree, tutorials on its use, and a comprehensive reference. You will need to read the section on installing the product. Also, we strongly recommend that you read the tutorials.

We recognize the difficulties learning any new skill from a book or manual no matter how well it is written. So, as a second approach to learning about HelixTree, we strongly recommend that you visit our web site at http://www.goldenhelix.com and sign up for a web-based seminar. The seminar can be set up to accommodate your schedule and its content can be tailored to meet your specific needs. The time spent in the seminar has proven to be a very effective way for new users to jump start their productivity with HelixTree and seasoned users to quickly acclimate to new features.

Finally, Golden Helix also offers on site training on HelixTree. The on-site training is very beneficial for teams of people. Contact our sales staff to discuss your on site training options.

We are always looking for ways to improve HelixTree both in its basic capabilities as well as in its ability to inter-operate with other tools used in your work. HelixTree now has a feedback mechanism which is intended to encourage you to communicate feature requests, bugs(!), as well as your experiences with the product.

We look forward to hearing from you.

President & CEO of Golden Helix
