Abstract: The present system relates to a system architecture that uses a single electron transistor (SET) to analyze base sequences of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at ultra high speed in real time. DNA represents the entire body of genetic information and consists of nucleotide units. There are a total of four types of nucleotides, and each nucleotide consists of an identical pentose (deoxyribose), phosphate group, and one of four types of bases (Adenine: A, Guanine: G, Cytosine: C, Thymine: T). A and G are purines having a bicyclic structure while C and T are pyrimidines having a monocyclic structure. Each has a different atomic arrangement, which signifies a different charge distribution from one another. Therefore, a system comprising a single electron transistor that is very sensitive to charges, a probe of a very small size that reacts to one nucleotide very effectively, and an extended gate that connects the SET with the probe, can be used to analyze DNA base sequences at ultra high speed in real time.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for marking bio-information into the genome of an organism, an organism marked with inherent bio-information by the method and a method for reading the bio-information. The method is characterized in that inherent bio-information encoded to a DNA sequence or RNA sequence is inserted into genome of organisms through a gene delivery system. Inherent bio-information is inserted into genome of organisms, thus avoiding loss by cell culture or artificial manipulation and being widely used even for organisms whose host-vector system is not provided. Based on these features, the method has the following advantages. First, inherent bio-informtion can be clearly obtained from the organisms themselves, rather than an additional means such as catalogs. Second, when organisms developed through desperate efforts are stolen, they can be tracked down and identified. Third, when serious problems occur by overuse or misuse of organisms, the origin thereof can be clearly determined.
