newswise.com

Georgia Tech researchers developed GeneLock, a genetic passcode lock to protect valuable DNA and engineered cell lines. This cybersecurity-inspired technology scrambles DNA sequences, rendering them nonfunctional until a specific chemical passcode is applied in the correct order, preventing unauthorized access and theft. The innovation aims to secure the multi-trillion dollar biotechnology market, offering protection at the genetic level beyond traditional physical security measures.
