About MyGeneCode
MyGeneCodeturns the wonder of life's code into a meaningful gift. Customers browse the 23 human chromosomes, choose a real gene whose meaning captures a person — the bonding gene for a partner, a longevity gene for a newborn — and dedicate it in their name. A companion product lets you own a permanent parcel of a whole genome, from the human code to a beloved pet, a mighty oak, even a woolly mammoth. Each dedication arrives as a beautiful printed certificate and keepsake.
MyGeneCode is honest by design: a dedication is symbolic, not a claim of ownership, and every gene is real and plainly explained. The company also runs MyGeneCode Discovery, hands-on gene-science activities for curious kids. MyGeneCode is built in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
