New 'genetic bar code' technique establishes ability to derive DNA information from RNA

Posted: 08 Apr 2012 12:06 PM PDT

Researchers have developed a method to derive enough DNA information from non-DNA sources—such as RNA—to clearly identify individuals whose biological data are stored in massive research repositories. The approach may raise questions regarding the ability to protect individual identity when high-dimensional data are collected for research purposes.
