Choose the GenePak option when you want your DNA portrait
to say something more.
This option isolates specific genes during the lab process which identify and represent four
different areas of human characteristics:
Show off your muscles without having to flex. This
gene called ACTN2 is expressed in all of your
muscle cells.
This gene called IGF-2 is associated with intelligence.
It’s not the only gene whose expression
correlates with IQ, but one of them that is involved
in development of the brain. |
Are you in love? This gene called NGF2, believe it
or not, causes all of those butterflies in your
stomach when you meet that special someone!
Who has more fun - Blondes or Brunettes? This gene, called MC1R is responsible for determining the color of your hair.

GenePak Booklet
Need more information? Here are the most frequently asked questions on the GenePak option:
- The extra lab process, which isolates the 4 specific genes described above.
- A booklet that describes the lab process and helps you understand what your art piece means and where the specific genes are located on your portrait.
Our standard lab process creates a unique genetic fingerprint from your DNA but doesn't isolate any specific genetic traits.
GenePak is an extra service that actually isolates and identifies the four specific genes described above the FAQs.
When looking at the two portraits side by side, a GenePak DNA portrait and a standard DNA portrait will look quite similar. However, armed with the information from your GenePak booklet, you will be able to cleverly point out where your genetic traits are on your portrait.
In the back of your GenePak booklet will be a small printout of your portrait and where your GenePak Traits are located on the art piece.
