DNA Pods

DNA PodsGlitchInnervasion Part 4: Mind Over Alien Matter are containers which hold the DNA present in the Omnitrix.
==Purpose==
The DNA Pods are responsible for holding all the DNA samples inside of the Omnitrix, ten of which can be accessed at a time, unless the setting is turned off. A separate chamber holds all of the DNA pods that are inactive.Innervasion Part 5: High Override However, these pods can activated temporarily.Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie

==Trivia ==
*Only 10 DNA Pods are available in the Omnitrix's loading chamber. If more than 10 forcefully active then the Omnitrix starts malfunctioning, causing rapid changing in transformations.Omni-Tricked: Part 2
**As of Ben 10,010, that has been changed.
*The Omnitrix does not have enough room to contain the DNA samples of every sapient race in the universe, as it does not have access to DNA from Bashmouth's Species. 
**At the very least, every canon alien confirmed to have been catalogued in the prototype Omnitrix from the Classic Continuity is present in this Omnitrix. 
***As such, every alien created for the Reboot exists in the Classic Continuity.
***It is currently unknown if the Andromeda aliens from the Classic Continuity are available in the Omnitrix, as Duncan Rouleau views it as being the same as the prototype Omnitrix. But in case if they are not, Duncan has assured that they will "get added later".
*The Omnitrix storing DNA in itself is similar to what the Omniverse Omnitrix does.
*The Omnitrix is keyed to the user's DNA, so only close relatives can use the pods.
*The Galvanic Mechamorph pod was destroyed when Ben used Upgrade to reboot the watch's systems. A massive feedback loop ravaged the in-system matrix, destroying the Mechamorph DNA pod.
*It is initially believed that Gax's DNA was no longer available in the Omnitrix after Vilgax absorbed the transformation to restore himself in Omni-Tricked: Part 3. However, this would later be contradicted by Gax's tentacled being briefly seen during Animo's transformation into Rath.Animorphosis 
**Therefore, it is implied that Gax was simply locked from the active playlist and still available within the Omnitrix.
*Blank pods within the Omnitrix are able to read DNA, and create new pods.
**Ben was able to use parts of a destroyed Fulmini soldier to create a new DNA pod.
*The pods can be affected by a Fulmini pod, which gives the alien's Fulmini armor.
*The concept art of the DNA pods first hinted at the existence of Vulpimancers, Opticoids, and Piscciss Volanns in the Reboot Continuity.
*In Ben Gen 10, the Galvan and Florauna DNA pods can be seen in the loading chamber when Rex Salazar removes his nanites from Omnitrix. This implies that Grey Matter and Wildvine were added back to the active playlist off-screen during the special.
