You can even tell from the image in the article. The reconstruction is not radically different from the real face, but enough details are wrong that you couldn’t say that they were the same person.
- madaxe_again 8y agoThey’re both female, and that’s about where the similarity ends. There is far too much interplay between genes, plenty of which are still unmapped, for us to even begin to hazard a guess at something as complex as facial structure. I mean, according to my genome, I’m short, black, unable to smell asparagus in my pee, don’t have the photic sneeze reflex, have cystic fibrosis, and am bald - and I’m none of those things. Were it not for the fact that I’m definitely my mother’s son according to the same services (23andme -> promethease) I would have thought they’d mixed up my sample. Until we actually understand gene expression, we’re just looking at a limited set of inputs and using pretty woolly cluster analysis to correlate with outputs.
