TLDR
This work has developed a DNA-based, doubly steganographic technique for sending secret messages that is first camouflaged within the enormous complexity of human genomic DNA and then further concealed by confining this sample to a microdot.
Abstract
The microdot is a means of concealing messages (steganography)1 that was developed by Professor Zapp and used by German spies in the Second World War to transmit secret information2 A microdot (“the enemy's masterpiece of espionage”2) was a greatly reduced photograph of a typewritten page that was pasted over a full stop in an innocuous letter2 We have taken the microdot a step further and developed a DNA-based, doubly steganographic technique for sending secret messages A DNA-encoded message is first camouflaged within the enormous complexity of human genomic DNA and then further concealed by confining this sample to a microdot
