Yeah, the understanding of biology to go from DNA to full body reconstruction is very far away. What they might be thinking of doing is creating a database of face and matching DNA. Then when unknown DNA is queried it probably finds the most similar sequences and then blends some of the most similar faces together.

It's going to have horrible accuracy.

And then perhaps, they will mistake a football with bald-head DNA.
