Can scientists tell by simply reading the gene exactly what a person looks like? For example: Can they look at a person and choose from a choice of genes readings =what it says on the chromosome?
Also, can a gene be used to identify a criminal let’s say? Like if they can’t get a genetic sampling of the suspects, but they have some genes from the scene of the crime, can they use the gene to identify the appearance of the criminal?

I have some experience with Mongolian gerbils, I owned several when I was younger. I am interested in owning them again, but this time I want to get a breading pair from two separate breeders. What colors, traits, or gene combinations should I look for to create the greatest variation in color when the liter is born? I would like to produce a dilution color, if possible.
