SingldOut was an online dating platform that claimed to use genetic testing to identify potential relationship matches.[1] The company marketed its intention to bridge the gap between digital networking and biological compatibility.[2][3] The service used the professional networking site LinkedIn as well as DNA testing company Instant Chemistry.[1] Jana successfully wrote, orchestrated and implemented a highly targeted Public Relations campaign that resulted in national and international media acclaim valued at over $2M in earned media exposure. Jana Bayad launched the site in July 2014.[1][4][5][6] It was shut down in November 2015.[7][better source needed]

Methodology

Upon registering with SingldOut, members were sent a DNA test kit.[1][8] To assess the biological compatibility of its members, SingldOut claimed to examine immune system genes, saying that they play a role in attraction,[medical citation needed] as well as serotonin transporter genes, claiming these play a role in determining how someone might react in certain situations.[1][medical citation needed] Results from the DNA test were then posted on the user's profile and compared with the results of other users.[9][10]

The company credited genetic testing with the ability to “identify up to 40 percent of the chemistry of attraction between two people.”[11][medical citation needed]
