A cheek swab! Oh, you shouldn't have!
We were so relieved to find out there's still time to order a "DNA Portrait" holiday gift kit. For $390 (and up) a company called DNA11 will turn a DNA sample taken from a cheek swab into art (example above). The Information Aesthetics blog runs through the gift considerations:
because: as looking at your own phenotype in the mirror bores you, the genotype might be more intriguing.
however: one first might need to look up the definition of narcissism.
Hmm. It's like you, too, can be Craig Venter. At any rate, Al Roker is a fan, so they must be cool.
