Genoportrait is the only personal or family portrait that displays genetic uniqueness, instead of traditional characters or faces. How is that possible? It's because we make each Genoportrait based on genetic information contained in DNA. Each DNA contains several highly variable places that are unique to each person. We can read these so-called genetic markers from DNA, and in your Genoportrait you will see them as colored lines.
Product includes:
– a DNA extraction kit in an elegant packaging
– the Genoportrait
– a certificate
– a gift
The extraction of DNA
First of all, you will receive from us, via post or a messenger, a sampling kit including brushes, test tubes and a manual with detailed instructions. The DNA based on which we make your Genoportrait is extracted by yourself in the comfort of your own home with a gentle brush. You only need to wipe the gentle brush against the inner side of your cheek (so-called buccal swab), put it in the test tube and send it back to us in the attached return envelope. Then we obtain the necessary DNA from the cells caught on the brush in our laboratories.
Picking out colors
In Genoportrait TRIO you will notice 6 different colors of lines – from the three people, each person has their genetic profile displayed through a different color, the fourth, fifth and sixth color then point out the genetic markers they have in common. Based on the representation of each of the colors you can notice just how genetically similar the displayed people are.
The complete color chart can be found HERE. But you do not need to rush with picking the color of the Genoportrait lines. If you are still deciding, pick the "Selection after ordering" option before adding the product to cart. Part of the elegant sampling kit is a printed color chart, from which you can pick the color of the lines later on. And if you happen to need more time to think it over, you can change your pick up until we send your Genoportrait for print.
We offer the Genoportrait in sizes from S to XXL.

As with choosing color of the lines, you do not need to rush to pick out the background and material of the Genoportrait. Before adding the product to cart, simply choose the option "Selection after ordering" and you can take your time deciding up until we send your Genoportrait for print.
How to read the Genoportrait?

We know that the Genoportrait sparks interest and curiosity of those around. Thanks to the certificate you will be ready to interpret the meaning of this personal image to all the admirers.
What will happen after ordering:
We will send you a DNA sampling kit. Don't fret – this is a fine brush to wipe the inside of the cheek + sampling instructions. We will also send you a color sampler. In the comfort of your home you will then take a DNA sample, select your Genoportrait color combination and send both back to our lab by mail. We will analyze the sample and produce your Genoportrait within 4 weeks. However, we would like to point out that the delivery time may be prolonged depending on your specific demands, the quantity of graphic adjustments etc.
We deliver the Genoportrait ready to hang right on the wall (with a hanging mechanism on the back side), safely packed in bubble wrap and a cardboard box.
