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]
