This submission addresses the Sanity Challenge, focusing on creating an agent for real-time biosecurity screening of genetic sequences. Modern DNA synthesis technology lacks crucial real-time provenance verification and threat screening capabilities. GeneSign aims to fill this gap by functioning as both an autonomous biosecurity agent and a cryptographic DNA steganography engine.
GeneSign integrates with a structured Biosecurity Knowledge Base stored on Sanity. This database contains high-consequence pathogen taxonomies, biosafety level information, CDC/Australia Group regulated sequence motifs, and watermarking provenance records. The agent's key capabilities include real-time threat radar matching biological sequence motifs against regulated select agents and restricted viral strains.
To enforce compliance and security, GeneSign employs NVIDIA Nemotron AI to synthesize regulatory compliance decisions and pathogen threat rationales. It also uses zero-drift wobble steganography to embed dual-layer Ed25519 cryptographic signatures using synonymous codons. Additionally, it incorporates a 1-base mutation interlock to halt synthesis immediately if any signature tampering is detected.
The agent accesses the Sanity database using context-aware GROQ querying. When a user submits a FASTA genetic sequence, the agent extracts relevant biological coordinates and queries Sanity to retrieve relational context such as homology thresholds, legal restrictions, and risk classifications. GeneSign incorporates this information into its threat assessment decision-making process.
For demonstration purposes, a live application is available at genesign-biosecurity-engine-1.onrender.com. The interactive interface provides a dark tactical operations HUD featuring real-time 3D DNA visualization and threat ledger tracking. The complete project code is hosted on GitHub at github.com/fokrulanthro16-eng/genesign-biosecurity-engine for further reference and review.
