DNA 11 is a company that will transform a swab of your DNA into a contemporary-looking canvas with an artistic image of your DNA on it.

“Web consultant Adrian Salamunovic came across a DNA imaging brochure that his friend, molecular geneticist Nazim Ahmed, had brought with him. Adrian felt the DNA images were a piece of art, and asked Nazim to image his own genetic code.

Several weeks later, Adrian’s DNA art was ready and he promptly hung it on his wall; surprisingly, all of his friends wanted one too. Seeing a good business opportunity, the two friends partnered together with only $2,000 and started DNA 11 in Nazim’s small 600 square foot apartment.

A year after starting operations, DNA 11 made over $1 million in sales and continues to grow. DNA 11 now has 10 employees and a 3,000 square foot studio that handles printing. They only outsource DNA imaging to a secure laboratory.” (successguides)

Customers use a “collection kit” to take a swab from inside their cheek, which gives the company the DNA they need. They then isolate a sequence, blow it up and customize the artwork based on your specifications.

The company allows you to specify the color and size, and it will also allow you to place up to four different DNA images on the same canvas. So you can choose if you want your bedroom to have a colourful reproduction of your lips or your fingerprints.

DNA portraits start at $390, while lips and fingerprints begin at $290 and $190 respectively.
