Fingerprints can be hacked

Why in the world would you need CRISPR or lab grown meat? Just sequence the DNA and send it off to a DNA assembly service. The price is a couple hundred bucks a pop. You don't have to replicate the entire DNA, just the segments used for forensic PCR.

(On a side note, the state of biotechnology and life science knowledge on HN is utterly deplorable, repeating buzz words does not reality make.)

And what is involved in the DNA sequencing? And the DNA assembly service will probably take record of the operation itself (it is not a common service).

In the context...

OP was referring to state level actors.

Interesting (I had not thought of that side), but it remains revealing. When there is reason to suspect that the case was manipulated it may suggest that that level of capability is involved. Or that somebody "rubbed a drinking glass" on the scene...

hahaha - Friend, this is a news website not a scientific forum. Relax.

I’m no biologist, just seems easier to “infect” blood with someone else’s DNA than to make it from scratch.
