Abstract

A method and system for utilizing a DNA sequence embedded or associated with a product or living organism for linking a user computer to an associated online resource. The system comprises a reading device that is adapted to extract a DNA sequence from an associated token or product, and a client computer device that is associated with the reading device. The client computer device, for example a hand held reader with wireless network access, will access the DNA sequence and formulate a query that includes all or a part of the DNA sequence. The query is then transmitted to a routing server computer that is interconnected to the network (such as the Internet). The routing server computer accepts the query and accesses a database, which may be local or distributed amongst several computers on the network. The DNA sequence in the query is used to lookup an associated information server address (e.g. URL) that has been previously associated with that DNA sequence. The information server address is then returned back to the client computer device, and the client computer device will use that address to access the information server over the network and obtain whatever resource is associated with that address.
