My favorite thriller story idea comes from knowing a character’s SNPs that are also covered by the standard forensic DNA panel. Then the antagonist in the story buys a bunch of oligos that flank the panel targets and spreads them around the crime scene to “frame” the character for murder!

So once the ‘’’bad guys’’’ purchase the 23andme database, the story is complete! They can then frame our protagonist…

It makes entertaining fiction, but in the real world, the ways that can be used to lock you up and discredit you in the public's eye are much more banal. And I doubt they'll get more sophisticated the way things look in the US right now.

With all those sweeping upgrades to artificial generational technologies, a time will come where no one will trust audio-visual clues and evidence collection will be solely focused on DNA fingerprints.

Yeah, this is definitely possible (and I'd bet the CIA et al already have this capability)

...or they just use your Dropbox deamon to dump a bunch of CP on your harddrive and then send in the FBI.
