The Path to Compatibility

A structured workflow for connecting donors, recipients, and co-parents through profile review and optional DNA context.

1. Create Profile

Tell us about your family. We'll find the match.

2. Identify Matches

Review compatibility profiles for donors or co-parents based on established criteria.

3. Add DNA Data

Upload genomic data when you want extra compatibility context.

4. Connect

Communicate with compatible partners within a professional framework.

Add DNA Context When You Choose

Upload an existing raw DNA file to compare selected markers alongside profile preferences.

Upload DNA Data

Already have DNA data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or FamilyTreeDNA? Upload it to add compatibility context.

The Science of Matchmaking

Explore the research behind HLA marker comparison and how Gene Pool uses that context alongside preferences and family-building goals.

Gene Pool DNA-based compatibility

Genetic Compatibility

When members add compatible raw DNA data, Gene Pool can compare selected HLA markers alongside preferences, location, and family-building goals.

Advanced Matching Technology

Our matching algorithm uses proven science, adapted for family-building scenarios.

DNA Compatibility

Compare optional DNA context alongside profile preferences.

Profiles with context.

Review donor, recipient, and co-parent profiles.

Location Preferences

Connect locally or internationally.

HLA context: Gene Pool compares selected HLA markers. It does not test for genetic disease or predict fertility, pregnancy, or a child's health. Independent clinical screening remains important when planning a family.

Your Safety & Privacy Matter

We take security and confidentiality seriously

Profile context

Review profiles, privacy controls, and safety resources before deciding whether to connect.

Legal Resources

Access to family law resources and agreement templates.

Privacy Controls

You control who sees your profile and genetic information.
