The concept of DNA of Things (DoT) was introduced in 2019 by a team of researchers from Israel and Switzerland[1]. DoT encodes digital data into DNA molecules which are then embedded into objects. By means of 3D-printing, they made a Stanford bunny which contained its blueprint in the plastic filament used for printing. By clipping of a tiny bit of the ear of the bunny, they were able to read out the blueprint, multiply it and produce a next generation of bunnies. In addition, the ability of DoT to serve for steganographic purposes was shown by producing non-distinguishable lenses which contain a Youtube video integrated into the material.
