The article, titled 'How A.I. and DNA Are Unlocking the Mysteries of Global Supply Chains,' centers on the mounting need for the textile and other industries to employ tracing technologies to ensure compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).

Some companies - like the one that sprays the DNA mist onto cotton,
Applied DNA has used its synthetic DNA tags, each just a billionth of the size of a grain of sugar, to track microcircuits produced for the
In addition to the DNA mist it applies as a marker, Applied DNA can figure out where cotton comes from by sequencing the DNA of the cotton itself, or analyzing its isotopes, which are variations in the carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the cotton. Differences in rainfall, latitude, temperature and soil conditions mean these atoms vary slightly across regions of the world, allowing researchers to map where the cotton in a pair of socks or bath towel has come from.
CertainT is a multi-layered forensic authentication system that employs an integrated 'tag-test-track' approach to maximize supply chain security and minimize counterfeiting, including verifying cotton's geographic region of origin.

About CertainT
CertainT is a multi-layered forensic authentication system that includes DNA tagging, DNA genotyping, and isotope testing, designed to maximize supply chain security and minimize counterfeiting. The CertainT platform allows for DNA-based molecular tagging of inputs and final products, such as cotton fiber and finished cotton products, which can be tested and tracked through global supply chains. The CertainT platform can be used across the entire textile industry, including cotton, viscose, polyester, leather, and down and feather. It is well positioned to assist worldwide supply chains in navigating the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), which has been in full force since

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements made by Applied DNA in this press release and associated materials may be 'forward-looking' in nature within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe Applied DNA's future plans, projections, strategies and expectations, and are based on assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Applied DNA. Actual results could differ materially from those projected due to its history of net losses, limited financial resources, limited market acceptance, our unknown ability to penetrate key markets, our ability to successfully enter into commercial contracts for the implementation of our CertainT platform, the uncertainties inherent in research and development, our unknown ability to maintain contractual relationships necessary for isotopic testing, and various other factors detailed from time to time in Applied DNA's
