GeneSign is a cryptographic provenance engine and biosecurity firewall for synthetic biology. It embeds tamper-resistant watermarks into DNA coding sequences using zero-drift wobble codon steganography without altering amino acid translation. It features real-time pathogen screening powered by NVIDIA Nemotron AI and enforces hardware interlocks on single-base mutations. ```[cite: 13, 16]

Could you build this?

No This involves advanced bioinformatics, synthetic biology, steganographic codon algorithms, and biosecurity pathogen screening that require deep specialized domain science.

What it would actually take: A functional implementation requires a deep understanding of molecular biology, codon degeneracy, and bioinformatics algorithms (e.g., BLAST, HMMs, or GPU-accelerated sequence alignment). The stack would require high-performance C++/CUDA or Python integrating biosecurity databases like NCBI/CDC select agents, requiring biosecurity compliance and computational biology expertise that cannot be vibe-coded.
