DNA is only part of the story, and only part of DNA has been a part of the story! What if....in the not too distant future, genomics breakthroughs identified ways to expand genetic testing, and what if a villain found a way around that through genetic modification techniques? Goes way beyond the concept of imitating fingerprints. And robbing banks is apparently moving in digital directions, what with the Bangladesh caper (another part of what I've been doing for the last couple of decades). What if it was possible that you leave epigentic fingerprints in your code, and it becomes possible to identify hackers through digital fingerprinting of big data?(less)
