As [genetic testing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genome-sequencing) becomes more accessible for the average consumer, companies are looking for unique ways to put this information to good use. Working in conjunction with 23andMe, Artful DNA provides a platform for users to create custom visuals out of their genetic information. To use the service, users simply log in with their 23andMe account. The company will then provide a printable PDF or a framed print of the user's genome. The prints provide a visual way to conceptualize genetic information, while also serving as a piece of custom artwork. Great for gifts or personal use, the genetic prints provide a creative use for genetic data. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Personalized DNA Art:** Creating custom artwork using an individual's personal genetic information. - **Consumer Genetic Testing:** Increasing accessibility to affordable consumer genetic testing services. - **Bio-inspired Art:** Incorporating biological concepts and data into works of art. ### Who This Affects Most - **Biotech:** Using genetic data for creative purposes to create new product lines and services. - **Fine Art:** Exploring new mediums for artistic expression and incorporating unique data sets into works of art. - **E-commerce:** Creating new markets for products that enable consumers to personalize genetic data and turning it into custom artwork. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Genetic Testing Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dnalabs.md) - [AI Genetic Insights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqgene-ai.md) - [Genetic-Specific Nutrition Insights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-fare-genopalate.md) - [DNA-Based Nutrition Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habit.md) - [Personality-Based Art Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulgem.md) - [Personalized DNA-Driven Nutrition Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dnadriven-nutrition.md) - [At-Home Genetic Testing Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inagene-test-kit.md) - [Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Testing Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/directtoconsumer-genetic-testing.md) - [AI Art Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentube.md)
