Like naming a star — grounded in real biology
Gift a Piece of
Wonder
Real biology, made into a keepsake. Claim a permanent piece of a genome, dedicate a meaningful human gene, or gift a signature gene — a one-of-a-kind way to celebrate the people you love.
A symbolic dedication — a beautiful way to celebrate someone through real biology. No one can own a gene, and that's part of the wonder.
Three ways to gift a piece of the code
Pick the one that fits the person — each arrives as a beautiful, framable certificate.
The Registry
Name a DNA Parcel
A permanent, one-of-a-kind piece of DNA — the human code, your dog, or 200+ creatures from honeybees to the bacterium behind CRISPR.
Gift a Gene
Gift a Human Gene
Dedicate a real human gene with real meaning — OXTR for bonding, FOXP2 for speech, ACTN3 for athletes — on a keepsake certificate.
Signature Genes
Signature Gene Gifts
The famous genes of nature — the jellyfish's GFP glow, Cas9 behind CRISPR, the firefly's light — science's legends, made giftable.
For new parents
Gift the Bonding Gene
OXTRis the gene behind oxytocin — the hormone released the first time a parent holds their child. It's the biology of the bond itself. For a new baby, a first Mother's or Father's Day, or the parents who have everything, there's no gift that says it better.
The science of the bond
OXTR encodes the receptor for oxytocin — trust, empathy, and the connection between parent and child.
A keepsake that lasts a lifetime
A framable, archival certificate they'll hang in the nursery and keep forever.
Unlike anything else they'll receive
Everyone gives onesies and blankets. No one gives the gene for love itself.
OXTR
Oxytocin Receptor
“The bonding gene — the biology behind trust, empathy and the bond between a parent and their child.”
A symbolic dedication
Scientifically Inspired
Every gene is curated from trusted, public genomic databases.
Meaningful & Personal
Real genes with real emotional meaning, chosen for the person you love.
Beautifully Presented
A personalized, archival certificate — ready to frame and display.
Private & Secure
Your dedication and details are handled with care and discretion.
A keepsake worthy of the moment
Every dedication — a human gene, a DNA parcel, or a signature gene — is rendered as a beautiful printed certificate naming your recipient, the code you chose, its meaning and its exact place in the genome — mailed, elegantly styled, and ready to frame and display.
Framable certificate
Gold-foil styling, archival print, personalized dedication and message.
Ready to frame & display
Sized and styled to slip straight into a frame — for a wall, a desk, or a nursery shelf.
The story behind the code
A printed card explaining what your gene or genome means and why it was chosen — in plain language.
Give a gift unlike any other
Each dedication arrives as a beautifully designed, frameable certificate — as meaningful as the person it honors.
