Forget forensics. Future tech will track your bio-aura...

This unique microbial signature could make the microbiome the next crime-solving technology, Gilbert says. As opposed to fingerprints, which provide what Gilbert calls "presence/absence" information — either the person was there or they weren’t — the microbiome is a living thing.

“Once you deposit it onto a surface, like a door handle or a light switch,” Gilbert says, “it will start to change — and it changes subtly over time. So you could say not just that [a] person was there, but you may be able to identify when they were last there.” This information might even help to identify who was the last person to interact with a dead body at a crime scene, and how long ago.

Our unique 'microbial aura' travels with us wherever we go

I think read somewhere on the internet that if something is published in the journal 'Science' it must be true.
