Unlike living being, inanimate object do not have DNA embedded in them. What if we could artificially embed DNA barcode into inanimate objects? This is exactly what researchers at ETH Zurich in collaboration with Israeli scientist have developed.
The technology has been commercialized and is marketed through Haelixa., a spin-off of Eth Zurich.
The use cases are many: markers for products to detect counterfeit, to identify provenance of products such as the origin organic products and origin of gemstones and many others.
Imagine IOT ecosystem containing objects embedded with DNA barcodes. That will revolutionize the transfer of data. Big data is about to get even bigger.
Here are some additional references for what can be achieved with this technology:
