Reply to “Comment on ‘De Novo Reconstruction of 3D Human Facial Images From DNA Sequence’”

Key Points

Clarification of the methodological rationale behind DNA-based 3D facial images is provided, addressing major misconceptions.
Significant points include a detailed explanation of analytical procedures originally used for modeling facial images.
The discussion emphasizes the ethical governance and intended limitations of the technology, especially in predictive modeling.
Ongoing efforts focus on enhancing the interpretability and scientific rigor of DNA-based facial predictions.

Abstract

This manuscript is a formal response to the Comment by Wagner et al. regarding our publication "De Novo Reconstruction of 3D Human Facial Images from DNA Sequence." We clarify the methodological rationale, analytical procedures, and scientific scope of our original study, and we address several misconceptions arising in the Comment. We further highlight the intended purpose and limitations of Difface and discuss ongoing efforts to advance the rigor, interpretability, and ethical governance of DNA-based 3D facial prediction.
