MyGeneImage Artistic Images Stimulate Fascination of the Genetic Code
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- MyGeneImage introduces a new and
innovative way to personalize artwork. The company creates unique works of
art through the use of DNA sequence and genetic codes. DNA extracted from
individual cheek-swab samples is used to generate original expressions of art
for individuals from newborns to grandparents, and every age in between.
How it Works
The process of generating the DNA Art is simple. By request through
MyGeneImage.com, individuals receive a Sample Collection Package including
tools to swab the inside of the cheek to collect buccal cells, which hold the
body's DNA. The collection process is easy and painless, and is completed by
simply pressing the collector against the inside of the cheek several times.
The customer then sends the collector back to the MyGeneImage laboratory (in
the provided pre-paid overnight envelope), where the DNA is extracted and
generated into a fascinating piece of genetic art. The art creation process
takes only two weeks.
Individuals help define their own pieces of art by selecting the specific
gene sequence that is used in the final piece, as well as the design,
background color and size of the artwork. Customers select one of three forms
of DNA Art: myArtwork, reflections of the individual's gene sequence displayed
in picturesque art; myCrystal, DNA sequence engraved inside a crystal
structure with the 2D or 3D picture of the individual; or myGenetic ID, the
ultimate identification card with genetic markers to truly distinguish an
individual from others.
Why DNA Art?
MyGeneImage designs DNA Art to impress and inspire the individual and to
captivate exploration of genetic origins. Each work of art is remarkable and
unique as it displays the magnificence of the DNA sequence with the
individually selected gene. MyGeneImage is committed to maintaining
state-of-the-art techniques to create new art forms and offering all customers
a compelling introduction into the basis of their genetic origin.
