Personally, I’d have every US citizen in the database.
Idly, I've wondered if there would be a way to use some representation of a person's genome as a key for asymmetric cryptographic signing, particularly to replace the overuse of SSN. Obviously there are edge cases - blood transfusions, marrow transplants, etc. And nothing is perfectly secure - if you just need DNA to impersonate someone then we've somehow ended up in a future where people have to be careful with toenail clippings, etc because of the dark magic criminals can work against them.

But I feel Sir Pratchett would appreciate us ending up there.
