Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Genetic monitoring has been the subject of science fiction for years, but with biotechnology's decreasing costs and increasing accessibility through 'DIY bio' and community laboratories, it's becoming a reality. In this new world, the very things that make us human, such as hair, skin, and saliva, become a liability as we constantly shed them in public, leaving artifacts for anyone to mine for information.
