BostonGene

BostonGene is a Waltham, Massachusetts precision-oncology company that combines an in-house CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited clinical laboratory with an AI-powered bioinformatics platform. It integrates whole-exome and whole-transcriptome sequencing, liquid biopsy (cfDNA/cfRNA), single-cell RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, spatial proteomics and digital pathology into multimodal molecular and immune profiling. Its clinical products include the Tumor Portrait test, immune system profiling, an immunohistochemistry (IHC) test and an Unknown Primary test; its biopharma services cover target analysis, biomarker discovery, clinical trial support, drug indication expansion and unmet-need identification. BostonGene publishes open-source research software (Kassandra cell deconvolution, Molecular Functional Portraits, pyigmap) on GitHub, but exposes no public developer API, SDK or API documentation; clinician ordering and report delivery run through an authenticated Salesforce Experience Cloud customer portal.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles BostonGene the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — BostonGene scores 28.1/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 9/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile BostonGene

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for BostonGene. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of BostonGene, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
