DNA Security Code

DNA sequence gets decoded with special algorithms to avoid abuse.

1. For data streams of dna sequences, e.g. for platforms like 23andMe and webshops specializing their products on your dna code.

2. For rockstars, politicians and other icons who could get into the situation that reckless groupies steal or find saliva, hair or pieces of tissue and reproduce on it. For this use the dna in the body must be modified as soon as its leaving the organism (to avoid manipulating your existing dna code) The product could be very intresting for serial killers and other villains to erase their tracks from “Komissar DNA”. OR only the last 4 digits of the code get encoded, to allow tracking and identifying but prevent abuse. The product would be some kind of lotion to put on - so far this is also the only visualization i have in mind, appart from showing skin and hair loss.


Here´s the new text version:

"Our DNA-Security Code assures you privacy concerning your dearest DNA. No matter if used by politicians, rock stars, sportsmen or just as a normal consumer - this lotion is for everyone who doesn´t want the information of his genes go public. The product chiffres your personal code only where it´s relevant - in organic waste of yours (hair, skin ... everything that is about to fall of soon). The encoding allgorithm can be choosen by yourself and, apart from the registration at a police station, nobody else."

Warning: Code-Lotion does not work on tears, saliva and other bodily fluids.
