More likely is a background/credit check service that runs statistical analysis on genetic factors that correlate with late payments or property damage as part of their renter screening service.

Hold my techbro, this smells like a case of VC funded startup!!

"It's not racist bro, it's just a statistical analysis on genetic factors that correlate with late payments or property damage.
It'll be the next big thing, I swear we keep the DNA on our own blockchain, we call it the doublechainix. You get it bro??"

“And we’ll make a sweet app where we can charge people $20 for access to their own data bro!”
