BioHackers Encoded Malware in a Strand of DNA

“In new research they plan to present at the USENIX Security conference on Thursday, a group of researchers from the University of Washington has shown for the first time that it’s possible to encode malicious software into physical strands of DNA, so that when a gene sequencer analyzes it the resulting data becomes a program that corrupts gene-sequencing software and takes control of the underlying computer. ” (source)

Very clever. Would you call this DNA Injection (a la SQL Injection)? Reminds me of Little Bobby Tables.
