System for obfuscating identity
View Patent ↗Compositions, apparatus, systems, kits, and methods for obfuscating the nucleic acid and/or protein content of an environment.
1. A method comprising:
identifying one or more obfuscating components for one or more target biological material identifiers at least partially based on information associated with the one or more target biological material identifiers, wherein information associated with the one or more target biological material identifiers includes the identity of one or more target populations; and
providing the one or more obfuscating components to an environment.
2. A method comprising:
identifying one or more obfuscating components for one or more target biological material identifiers at least partially based on a percent sequence identity or a percent sequence similarity with one or more nucleic acid sequences associated with the one or more target biological material identifiers; and
providing the one or more obfuscating components to an environment.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein providing the one or more obfuscating components to the environment comprises:
providing sequentially the one or more obfuscating components to the environment.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein providing the one or more obfuscating components to the environment comprises:
providing one or more of the one or more obfuscating components to the environment separately.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more obfuscating components are selected from the group consisting of one or more nucleic acid sequence depositing components, one or more nucleic acid degrading components, and one or more protein degrading components.
6. A method comprising:
identifying one or more obfuscating components for one or more target biological material identifiers, wherein the one or more target biological material identifiers identify one or more individuals; and
providing the one or more obfuscating components to an environment.
7. A method comprising:
identifying one or more obfuscating components for one or more target biological material identifiers, wherein the one or more target biological material identifiers identify one or more populations.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more populations share one or more genetic characteristics.
9. A method of obfuscating the identity of one or more target biological material identifiers comprising:
selecting one or more nucleic acid sequences with approximately 25 percent to 99percent similarity to one or more target nucleic acid sequences; and
providing the one or more nucleic acid sequences to an environment.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: determining the sequence of the one or more target nucleic acid sequences.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
identifying the one or more nucleic acid sequences with approximately 25 percent to 99percent similarity to the one or more target nucleic acid sequences.
12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
co-localizing the one or more nucleic acid sequences with one or more first carriers.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein providing the one or more nucleic acid sequences to an environment comprises:
providing the one or more nucleic acid sequences to the environment using a wide area dispensing apparatus.
14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
providing a composition including one or more nucleic acid degrading components and one or more second carriers to the environment.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
providing a composition including one or more protein degrading components and one or more third carriers to the environment.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the composition including one or more nucleic acid degrading components, the composition including one or more protein degrading components, and the one or more nucleic acid sequences are provided sequentially to the environment.
17. The method of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the one or more nucleic acid sequences are at least partially purified, isolated, or recombinant.
18. A method comprising:
assembling a first composition including one or more nucleic acid sequences and one or more first carrier components; the first composition formulated for dispersion to an environment.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the one or more nucleic acid sequences share 25% to 99% sequence identity or sequence similarity to one or more target nucleic acid sequences.
20. A method comprising:
identifying one or more obfuscating components for one or more target biological material identifiers, wherein the one or more obfuscating components includes one or more nucleic acid sequence depositing components; and
providing the one or more obfuscating components to an environment.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the one or more obfuscating components further includes one or more of one or more nucleic acid degrading components or one or more protein degrading components.
22. A method comprising:
identifying one or more obfuscating components for one or more target biological material identifiers, wherein the one or more obfuscating components includes one or more protein depositing components; and
providing the one or more obfuscating components to an environment.
23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the one or more obfuscating components further includes one or more of one or more nucleic acid degrading components or one or more protein degrading components.
