Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
the technique is whole genome scan for matching variations of single nucleotides.
with a few snippets, this wont work, with a large "input string" the variations at scale become increasingly exclusive.
this is akin to "late model ford" vs "1994 red ford explorer, with a dent on front left bumper, a deep scratch on the trunk, with one dim tailight."
or similarily, pixel variations baked into printer output, as identifiers linking a particular document to a particular printer.
more matching polymorphisms exclude similar individuals,until identical individual becomes apparent.
