Gene vs. Genome — what's the difference?
Two ways to give a piece of the code. Both make a gift — the difference is what you give: a single meaningful gene, or a parcel of a whole genome.
Gift a Gene
You're hereOne meaningful human gene
Pick a single, famous human gene — OXTR for bonding, FOXP2 for speech — and gift the trait it stands for.
You gift a gene.
Own a Genome Parcel
A parcel of a whole genome
Claim a permanent parcel of an entire genome — human or any of 170+ creatures — registered forever in a name.
You claim a parcel.

The Survivor Collection
For the people we love who faced down cancer and the hardest battles — a gene reframed as a trophy. Not a diagnosis, but a badge of honor: the adversary they defeated, or the guardian that fought at their side.
BRCA1 is one of the body's great DNA guardians — and the most famous name in the fight against breast and ovarian cancer. With early detection and modern medicine, more people survive and thrive than ever before.
A badge of honor for a survivor — proof she faced the hardest fight and came through it.
GIFT BRCA1Nicknamed 'the guardian of the genome,' TP53 stands watch in every one of our cells and is involved in roughly half of all human cancers. It's the perfect emblem for anyone who has faced down the disease and prevailed.
The universal survivor's gene. However their battle was fought, this says it plainly: you won.
GIFT TP53BRAF drives the majority of melanomas — and became the target of the breakthrough therapies that, together with immunotherapy, turned a once-grim diagnosis into a survivable one.
For the fighter who beat melanoma and came out the other side, stronger.
GIFT BRAFEGFR is one of the master switches hijacked in lung cancer. Targeting it launched the era of precision oncology — turning many lung cancers from a death sentence into a fight that can be won.
A tribute to resilience and modern medicine — for a survivor who refused to quit.
GIFT EGFRThe androgen receptor is the engine most prostate cancers run on — and the target of the treatments that make it one of the most survivable cancers there is. Caught and fought, the odds are firmly on his side.
For the father, husband or grandfather who won — a quiet trophy of a hard-won victory.
GIFT ARAPC is the gatekeeper of the colon — the first line whose failure can start colon cancer. Caught early through modern screening, it's one of the most beatable cancers of all.
A celebration of a survivor — and of the screening and courage that made the win possible.
GIFT APCBCL2 is the 'survival switch' that lymphomas hijack to keep cancer cells alive. A new generation of medicines flips it back off — helping more people beat lymphoma and ring the bell.
For the survivor who outlasted it — a symbol of endurance and the will to live.
GIFT BCL2RUNX1 is a master regulator of blood, central to childhood leukemia. It's the setting of one of medicine's greatest triumphs — most children diagnosed today go on to be cured and grow up.
For the littlest, bravest fighter of all — a keepsake of the day they won.
GIFT RUNX1RET is a key driver of thyroid cancer — and now the bullseye of targeted therapies. Thyroid cancer is among the most curable, and survivors go on to live long, full lives.
A trophy for a survivor — a small, golden reminder that they beat it.
GIFT RETBRCA2 is a guardian that repairs our DNA, and its story reshaped the fight against ovarian and breast cancer — including the PARP-inhibitor breakthroughs that give survivors more time and more wins.
A symbol of resilience for a survivor who fought with everything she had — and won.
GIFT BRCA2Offered with respect for everyone touched by these diseases — those who won, those still fighting, and those we've lost. Each gift is a symbolic dedication that honors courage; it is not a medical claim or a statement about anyone's health.
