Innovative DNA Techniques to Combat Counterfeiting in Sports Apparel

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking method to curb counterfeiting in sports apparel by incorporating an athlete's DNA into the product's ink. This process involves isolating a section of the athlete's DNA from a cheek swab and replicating it through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA serves as a unique identifier, ensuring that the product is authentic and can’t be easily replicated without detection. However, challenges such as keeping the DNA protected from sunlight and bleach remain significant concerns. This technique could revolutionize the way brands authenticate merchandise.

  1. Team Counterfeit By Wes, Ryan, Tyler C

  2. Dab of DNA keeps Counterfeiters at Bay • 1. To pull off the feat, scientists first isolated a section of an athlete’s DNA, taken from a cheek swab. Then, they replicated the genetic material using a procedure known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), adding the sections into the ink to label the products • 2. No!! Because its clothing contains someone else genetic information and it wouldn’t matter if it was counterfeited. • 3. No, the DNA cannot be copy like the ink can be without being undetected. If detected the item would be worthless. • 4. No, if the DNA is to be kept away from sunlight and bleach.

  3. DNA Fingerprints Photos • 5.Yes suspect three is the only one of the seven suspects to closely match the bloodstain. • 6. Half the child’s DNA is closely related father one then it is to father two. • 7. Sample A are fraternal twins, Sample D is also same as Sample B are identical twins and Sample C is also identical twins.

  4. DNA Makes History • 8. No because the only way to positively find the correct identity is for DNA analysis. • 9. Examined DNA from cells in the skeletal remains, looking for the Y chromosome. • 10. 70% of bone cells had cytosine at this position and the remainder had thymine. Thought it was an error but the test results were repeated, scientist realized that it was a phenomenon call heteroplasmy.
