Want to predict the appearance and sound of humans? Ask DNA to know

[PConline News] Earlier this month, Dr. J. Craig Venter, considered one of the 21st century's most famous scientists, delivered a speech at Washington State University. If you don't know who he is, let's introduce it first: He was the first person to study artificial life and successfully persuaded the government to invest $100 million in the human genome sequence project. During the lecture, Dr. Venter mentioned an exciting research project he and his colleagues are doing - using DNA to predict human appearance and sound. This research is called Biological teleportation and it mainly uses 3D printing technology to deliver organisms to Earth, Mars and other places.

During an hour-long speech, Dr. Venter said that this most groundbreaking project has won many awards. It can accurately predict what he looks like through a person’s DNA, even his. sound.

Dr Venter and his colleagues have discovered a way to separate the genes that determine our appearance, which is the most critical part of the study. Dr. Vernter said: “After testing the genetic samples of thousands of people and comparing them with the 3D model of the volunteer's face, we finally found these genes.”

At present, Dr. Venter's research team has been able to successfully predict the color of the human eye, even more accurately than people themselves describe, because the difference between the human left and right eyes is about 80%, but many people do not realize this a little. He added: "Using your genome to predict your appearance is entirely logical."

Dr. Venter said in his speech: "In theory, this research is very scientific, but we did not think that this technology from theory to reality only for such a short period of time. Personally, I did not even think of it The result will be so precise."

The facial features of humans may be formed by hundreds of genes, and the effect of each gene is very small. Relatively speaking, hair, eyes, skin color, and ethnicity are all relatively easy to determine, but gene distributions associated with genetic characteristics such as height and facial type are very scattered. If Dr. Venter can successfully overcome this level, then he is too Cow X now.

If the prediction accuracy of this technology is really high, then humanity may usher in a crazy era. Everyone can create a genetic database of their own as soon as they are born. All the information is included in it.

However, according to Dr. Venter's description, the difficulty of predicting sound through DNA is relatively high. For now, they can already distinguish gender from the digital records of human voice, and predict the age of the target, or even predict his height from recordings. In addition, the researchers also found a relationship between the sound and the shape of the face.
