Properties of DNA as a Technological Tool
  • DNA is the central repository of information in
    the cell.
  • DNA stores information efficiently. Four
    different bases (A, T, G, and C) imply 4n
    possible different n-mers.
  • A large number of elements (DNA strands)
    occupies a small
  • space 1012 strands in about 100ul (1/
    10th of a marble).
  • Hybridization between two DNA strands is strongly
  • sequence- specific. Only complementary
    strands will hybridize

A Brief History of DNA-Based Computation
  • 1994 Field begins with Adleman paper in Science
    Molecular computation of solutions to
    combinatorial problems.
  • 1995- Use of DNA for
  • - Addition (Bancroft et al, Science 1996)
  • - Combinatorial problems, either in solution
    (e.g., Kaplan et al, Science 1997) or on
    surfaces
  • (Condon and Smith, Nature 2000)
  • - Logic (e.g., Seeman and Reif, Nature 2000)

I. DNA-Based Steganography
  • Background
  • Most current cryptosystems are based upon
    intractable NP-complete problems, and are thus
    theoretically subject to attack by quantum
    computers.
  • Summary
  • We have developed DNA-Based Steganography-
    a method for camouflaging a DNA-encoded message
    within the enormous complexity of the human
    genome.
  • We believe that breaking DNA-based
    steganography represents an intractable
    biochemical problem, and that this technique is
    thus highly resistant to either computer
    (quantum, etc.) or biochemical attacks.

Extension of DNA-Based SteganographyCounterfeit-
Resistant Authentication
Potential uses Authenticate documents (e.g.,
currency, immigration documents) solid objects
(e.g., apparel, industrial parts) liquids (e.g.,
signatures, perfume, petroleum)
Authentication Oligomer plus vast excess
of concealing oligos


1. Readout PCR c. specific primers 2.
Counterfeiting virtually impossible, since
adversary cant detect, recover, or sequence the
Authentication Oligomer

Current Use of DNA Microarrays in Biology Gene
Expression Patterns ( Signatures)
DNA Microarrays
  • A robot spots up to 10,000 gene DNA samples onto
    a 2 cm2 area on glass or filter.
  • The array is hybridized with colored cellular RNA
    probe(s) (red and/or green).
  • Colors represent the degree of hybridization over
    each spot, yielding a unique, complex gene
    expression pattern or signature.

Example from our lab prostate cancer gene
expression (two 2400 spot analyses)

Use of Microarrays in DNA-Inspired Technologies
IDiscreet Authentication Tags Containing DNA
Microarrays
Microarray is on removable filter. All spots
contain concealing DNA only a pattern of spots
contains authentication oligomer.
Glass support
Removable filter


1. Remove filter tag from glass, attach to item
to be authenticated. 2. Authentication (Level
1) Determine whether primer extension
with specific primer yields expected spot
pattern. 3. Authentication (Level 2)
Determine whether primer extension
product contains the correct authentication
sequence.

III. Storage/Retrieval of Information in DNA
  • Purpose To store information efficiently in
    DNA, in a form that
  • permits ready retrieval and
    interpretation.
  • Rationale Any computer-based medium will
    ultimately become
  • obsolete, but DNA will never fall into
    disuse.
  • Fundamental Design Employ two types of DNA
    strands
  • - n Information Strands encoding the
    information to be stored.
  • - A single Polyprimer Strand key to
    the Information Strands.
  • This strand encodes primers for the
    Information Strands, plus
  • order of Info Strands (and thus order
    of encoded information).
  • Storage Medium Microcentrifuge tubes
    ultimately DNA microarrays

Summary
  • We are working in a broad discipline that
    includes DNA-Based Computation as a subset,
    termed DNA-Based Technologies.
  • We have developed three new DNA-based
    technologies
  • DNA-Based Steganography, for hiding
    DNA-encoded messages in concealing DNA (genomic
    or synthetic).
  • Counterfeit-Resistant Authentication (derived
    from DNA Steganog.), for authenticating valuable
    objects or liquids
  • DNA Information Storage, a DNA-based technique
    for long-term storage of information (text, etc.).
