Diagram illustrating the implementation and functionality of the genome signature in synthetic genomic materials. a Overview of the genome signature’s encoding process within a gene. The genome signature integrates into the target genome, providing certification capabilities that ensure integrity and authenticity. This enables independent verification of genomic sequences. b Functionalities provided by the genome signature. Integration with the target genomic sequence enhances robustness against nucleic acid mutations; scalable protection mechanisms applicable to extensive genomic sequences; Tracking and verification of genomic sequence migration from genome a to genome b, ensuring accurate monitoring and protection of coded genomic sequences.
