GENERAL GENETIC

photoGENIX

genetics and genealogy game

OVERVIEW

You have a box of old family photos, but you don't know who is who! Examine the faces for genetic and other clues to arrange the images in a family tree.

Previously available on Facebook, and later as a desktop application, the long-term plan is to port photoGENIX to iPad.
