DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

I think they are probably looking at DNA based classifiers for some traits (e.g. height and weight, and some of the facial characteristics) - possibly in conjunction with Queensland University of Technology - and also using typical values for some facial features index figures based on admixture. In practice we will probably see multiple enhanced versions of this product, as individual traits or groups of traits are added to it. There will come a point though where a DNA sample will be entered into the process and a digitally produced color identikit picture will appear on a screen. How far are we away from that is not known. Another interesting question is what are the impediments to ubiquitous adoption of such tecnology by every law enforcement agency apart from cost? I do not think there are any.
