Synths are made from DNA blocks that are put together by hand. Therefore, they have no resemblance to other DNA of other people but their DNA can be coded in a way to LOOK like other people. Like Angel Lucy has a phenotype that makes her look like Lucy Prime, but Angel Lucy and Lucy Prime do not share ANY similar genetics because Lucy Prime has millions of years of genetics to make her who she is and can trace back her ancestry to the first woman. Angel Lucy cannot. She is a genetic anomoly constructed out of individual DNA and RNA strands made in a lab. Someone went through and invidicually coded all of Angel Lucy's DNA (that person being Hera who as an AI can do things intinfisibly faster than any living thing as she's just a giant super computer).

Tiamat is the same. She is the same phenotype as Eros but is not related in any way to Eros or any other proeathan or human that had ever been. Her DNA is what proeathans thought a person should look like without 'junk' DNA. Because you have a LOT of garbage DNA that through evolution has been turned off. Like DNA that gives you a tail, we don't need that DNA, it's trash now. A synthetic Driver like Tiamat and Mercury have had their 'junk' DNA turned into different DNA that proeathans consider 'ideal', which is why Eros had Tiamat made in the first place.

Desmond is similar in that a lot of his junk DNA is just... different. There's something about the way his genes combined to have a different variable of otherwise 'junk' DNA that made him more Driver-like like Tiamat and Mercury were.

I hope that cleared it up a bit? It's both really complicated to explain but easy to understand once you get it, it's just explaining it right that's rough lols
