ABSTRACT:
A method for using information encrypted with a nucleic acid molecule to backtrack an item's path or identify a point of origin. Unique nucleic acid-containing tags are seeded at one or more geographic locations. Using sequence analysis techniques, the person or object of interest is examined for the presence of one or more of the seeded nucleic acids. The geographic location associated with each detected nucleic acid is used to backtrack the item's path or extrapolate a probable point of origin.
