DNA dating arrives

Are you fed up with Match.com? If so, there’s a new service out there that will help you find your “perfect chemistry” mate. The Scientist this week reports that a new site called ScientificMatch.com “uses DNA samples from customers to match them with others who have different alleles for major histocompatibility complex genes.”

Eric Holzle, the site’s founder, says that an additional benefit of DNA dating is that “there’s less cheating when people are properly matched up.” He sites a 2006 University of New Mexico report as evidence.
