if not an image at least a list of some features as far as s***and skin color? like i said idk anything about DNA but i would think it would contain at least that info
which of course isn’t helpful in catching a specific criminal, but if it’s solid technology, it will at least narrow it down a tiny bit i guess
Uhhhh... yeah thats what you're looking at in the tweet
Also, probably already known to be a male if the DNA is taken from sperm or blood after the sexual assault of someone. And the victim definitely already told authorities that its a black dude.
This hardly narrows down anything at all and instead will have the opposite effect of broadening the targets of police hostility.
I think the cops just wanted to try their new pig toys
same company the police is using
Parabon’s goal was ambitious: rather than just telling police that a suspect had fair hair and green eyes, it wanted to provide a comprehensive a***ysis of someone’s ancestry and a composite facial sketch from a DNA sample

yeah this s*** is pseudoscience as well
Big Brain Predicition/Theory:
They already know who did this based on a DNA match or something. They have his picture, and recreated it in a 3D animation as seen in OP.
Then they're gonna reveal that they caught him based on this flyer and Look! He looks exactly like what the DNA said!!
Then use this to usher in a new era of collecting everyone's DNA
If they were actually competent and not dumb fat pigs then this is what they would do
It’s pseudoscience, at best.
You can’t predict someone’s appearance with just DNA evidence.
People can dye their hair or shave it off, grow a beard, eat well or poorly, lose or gain weight, become a d*** addict, get disfigured in an accident, get too much sun, smoke, lighten or darken their skin, have plastic surgery, change gender, and do many other things that can affect their appearance but which have zero tie to their facial DNA.
Until the technology is more developed, DNA phenotyping at this stage is barely useful and does more harm than good.
Well yes, we can’t tell what the person looks like exactly.
But DNA can tell us the rough region where someone originated from.
They still have to match the persons dna to confirm they did the crime tho.
This is simply just a more accurate version of having a profiler. Who guesses what type of person did the crime.

Well that’s just DNA a***ysis.
It’s the phenotyping part that’s problematic.
Literally can be any black person based on this. Did they think they were doing something with this ancestry ass info? This isn’t the accomplishment they thought it was.
I'm sure this tech will be used for anything but good

point is to use DNA to get a good guess at general facial structure right? Yes, someone can gain/lose weight, grow facial hair, etc. But still man, acting like there's absolutely no useful aspect to this is silly.
I mean think about how we can tell that the pic of Dream when he was young and fat is real. Completely different body type, different age, different facial hair, but still, we are able to determine that it's the same person just off facial structure. So yeah, it can be useful, even given all the other factors.
Of course, using it as hard empirical evidence is a bad move, it should be treated the same way police reference sketches are. But hopefully that's obvious to everyone.
Did the victim give a description? Like was he black before they did the “science” s*** or what?

what's the useful aspect of this lol
