What happens to my DNA once the DNA-art portrait has been created? Your DNA is properly discarded. We do not keep your DNA. Do you store my DNA-art image? Yes, we store a copy of your DNA-art portrait in case the merchandise suffers any damage during delivery or once it is in your hands. We will delete your image upon request. At any rate, we recommend you to make a copy of your CD and keep it in a safe place. Can you obtain or extrapolate genetic information from my DNA portrait? Absolutely not. Your DNA-art portrait has no medical or legal value. How do I know my DNA portrait is accurate and unique? At Gene-Portrait, we have an extensive experience in molecular biology and share a genuine appreciation for the beauty of the genetic universe that we all carry within. We have worked very hard to find the right combination of scientific methods that would produce both a scientifically-solid and aesthetically-attractive unique portrait of your DNA.
