Synthetically-manufactured uniqely coded DNA that is sprayed onto perpetrators of a crime linking them from days to months to a location and/or property. An example of one of many companies in the space [1]. A search that opens up some rabbit holes [2].
More needs to be done in the space to develop it (there are several defeats I can think of as long as a perpetrator is aware such a system is in use), but it is still a promising channel to speed up investigation, indictment, prosecution, and sentencing.
