DNA Phenotyping

DNA phenotyping is a scientific technique that analyzes specific genetic markers to predict physical traits such as eye color, hair color, skin tone, and facial features. By examining these markers in an individual's DNA, scientists can create a profile that suggests how a person might look, often used in forensic investigations to generate possible visual descriptions of unknown individuals. It does not provide a complete picture of appearance but offers valuable clues based on genetic information. This method combines genetics and statistical modeling to make informed predictions about physical characteristics.
