Discover Your DNA Selfie, The World's First Genetic Selfie!
Take a selfie using only your DNA.
DNA Selfie uses DNA phenotyping technology that's backed by science. The app analyzes genetic data and provides that person's most likely facial image.
- Eye Color
- Hair Color
- Hair Shade
- Skin Color
This app also includes:
- the ability to download, share and modify your selfie
- statistical results showing the likelihood for each trait
- additional images arranged from most to least likely
Discover Your Genetic Picture.
- Compare your selfie to the selfies of your family members.
- Share your selfie with friends.
- Use your selfie as your online avatar at your favorite sites and games.
Getting Started
This app is compatible with most DNA tests including 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage.
Simply upload your DNA data to use this app. If you haven't yet taken a DNA test, order one of our DNA tests.
Once your DNA data is stored in your Sequencing.com account, click the app's 'Start' button. You'll receive your results in about 15 minutes.
