Compare

A good fit for

  • Scientists and engineers working on nanoscale device design and fabrication for biomedical applications.
  • Law enforcement and forensic investigators seeking to identify individuals and generate investigative leads from DNA evidence.

Know the limitations

  • Snapshot trait predictions have varying accuracy due to environmental factors influencing some traits beyond DNA alone.

What you can do

  • Designing custom DNA-based nanostructures for biomedical and biotechnological applications such as drug design and biosensors.
  • Forensic DNA analysis to generate leads by predicting physical traits and kinship from DNA samples to aid criminal investigations.

Features

  • DNA nanostructure design and fabrication platform called Essemblix with computer-aided design software inSēquio Design Studio.
  • Advanced DNA forensic analysis service called Parabon Snapshot that predicts physical traits and ancestry from DNA samples.
  • Snapshot produces a composite facial profile combining multiple trait predictions with confidence measures reflecting environmental influence.
  • Snapshot predicts traits including sex, ancestry, skin color, face morphology, eye color, hair color, freckles, and extended kinship inference.

Integrations

  • Snapshot research study app is available only on Apple iPhone devices; no Android version currently.

A practical workflow

  1. Users send a human DNA sample to Parabon to receive a forensic profile with predicted physical traits and ancestry.
  2. Participants in the Snapshot research study provide ancestry and appearance information, images via an iPhone app, and optionally upload DNA genotype files to improve prediction algorithms.
  3. Users can design DNA nanostructures using inSēquio Design Studio software integrated with Essemblix platform for custom molecular engineering.
