We’ve covered myriad dating concepts over the past couple of years and I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone turned to science.

Singldout is a San Diego-based company that has devised an algorithm that matches single people based partly on DNA compatibility and partly on the results from a psychological questionnaire. The company claim they can determine chemistry between two people based on their genes. Singldout works with Instant Chemistry, a Toronto-based lab services company that administers the DNA testing and determines the basic genetic profiles of members.

Subscriptions cost $149 for three months and $199 for six months, but the company have wider plans. They are investigating the possibility of companies using genetic profiling for everything from putting together work teams to creating the office seating chart.

I’ve no idea how successful this is likely to be for the end user, but it’s an angle. And in a crowded market that’s what you need. There’s certainly a lot of interest in DNA and genetic profiling so any service that uses them should certainly get attention.
