Encoding data from genetic traits relevant to illness diagnosis and heritage

A genetic characteristics decoding system for decoding genetic related disease information encoded using one or more quantities of quantum dots in a carrier, each of said quantities of quantum dots comprising a selected number of quantum dots having a specified size and emitting light at a specified wavelength, the decoding system comprising:

• a light source for charging the one or more quantities of quantum dots in the carrier;
• a scanner for scanning the carrier to retrieve information from the charged one or more quantities of quantum dots;
• and
• a processing system for processing the retrieved information from the one or more quantities of quantum dots in the carrier to determine the wavelengths of the one or more quantities of quantum dots in the carrier to identify distinct diseases, and to determine the numbers of the quantum dots in the one or more quantities of the quantum dots in the carrier to identify probabilities associated with the diseases, wherein each of the diseases is represented by a respective one quantum dot size.

A method of decoding genetic related disease information encoded by analyzing one or more quantities of quantum dots in a carrier, each of said quantities of quantum dots comprising a selected number of quantum dots having a specified size and emitting light at a specified wavelength, the method comprising:

• charging the one or more quantities of quantum dots in the carrier;
• scanning the carrier to retrieve information from the charged one or more quantities of quantum dots;
• and
• processing the retrieved information from the one or more quantities of quantum dots in the carrier to determine the wavelengths of the one or more quantities of quantum dots in the carrier to identify distinct diseases, and to determine the numbers of the quantum dots in the one or more quantities of the quantum dots in the carrier to identify probabilities associated with the diseases, wherein each of the diseases is represented by a respective one quantum dot size.
