    One downside of the method is that each molecular message can only be read once, since decoding the polymers involves degrading them.

    New DRM just dropped. Imagine pouring rented movies into your TV like laundry detergent.

    Compact, low cost DNA analysis sounds cool. Just dont use it for access control because thats obviously fucking stupid.
