A high-tech DNA bank has opened in Beijing providing inheritance tests for families and cell testing for children.

The managers of the bank said there had been steady demand for its services since it was founded.

One married couple asked for DNA charts to inset into identical necklaces as a love keepsake. DNA charts can also be used to prevent future diseases in children.

So far 400 clients have had a DNA inventory, at a cost of 600 yuan or 72 USD per year, and have received a guarantee of confidentiality from the bank.
