Using DNA to cast a 3D image of a face

March 25, 2014 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

mg22129613.600-1_1200_0I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get a little scared when I see the potential of DNA. I’m not talking about the Jurassic Park situations, but the idea of just using a little DNA stuff to track you.

This here is an interesting project that isn’t complete yet, and maybe it just shouldn’t be. You see, we have mapped out the entire human genome about a decade ago, and so we know a little blueprint about our own humanity. A professor at Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam found five genetic variants that might figure out how to map the human face. The Mark Shriver at Pennsylvania State University worked with Catholic University of Leuven’s Pete Claes to figure out how to take this idea further.

What you are seeing is a way to figure out where the center of the eyeball sits in relation to the face, and 76 other variations. You can see in the image how a face could be made from some DNA, and it doesn’t look so bad. I believe that there is an attempt to try and use this method to solve a serial rape case in Pennsylvania, but I am wondering what the DNA cannot account for, like hair dye.

If this method does work, then beware, criminals, beware. Also, beware those who are falsely accused because of this process.
