If you have spent any time at all thinking about the issues we are covering at Blindside, do you start having science fictiony-type thoughts?

Thinking about the information security impacts of genetics, we are now able to encode useful information into the DNA of plants and animals and have that information pass to the next generation. Cool stuff, and it does have implications for IT security and information assurance.

But then I started thinking. You know that everyone was surprised at the signal to noise ratio in human DNA–far fewer genes than we expected, etc. Has anybody thought to check the junk DNA for a signal?
