  • Publication number: 20200193301
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for storing digital information into nucleic acid molecules in various ways. Digital information may be received as a sting of symbols, wherein each symbol in the string of symbols has a symbol value and a symbol position within the string of symbols. A first identifier nucleic acid molecule may be formed by depositing M selected component nucleic acid molecules into a compartment, the M selected component nucleic acid molecules being selected from a set of distinct component nucleic acid molecules that are separated into M different layers, and physically assembling the M selected component nucleic acid molecules. A plurality of identifier nucleic acid molecules may be formed, each corresponding to a respective symbol position. The identifier nucleic acid molecules may be formed in a pool having powder, liquid, or solid form.

  • Publication number: 20200123550
    Abstract: Efficient sequence specific gene silencing is possible through the use of siRNA technology. Be selecting particular siRNAs by rational design, one can maximize the generation of an effective gene silencing reagent, as well as methods for silencing genes. Methods compositions, and kits generated through rational design of siRNAs are disclosed, including those directed to the nucleotide sequences for LDHA.

  • Publication number: 20200095705
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for selectively expelling and/or transferring nucleic acids. In one aspect, the device includes a component (e.g., a piezoelectric or an acoustic component) configured to align with one or more features on a solid support, such that when in use, the component (e.g., the piezoelectric or acoustic component) generates a mechanical force to selectively expel and/or transfer one or more volumes of nucleic acid from the solid support. The solid support can include a plurality of discrete features, each feature having a volume (e.g., droplet) of nucleic acid thereon. A power source can be included to provide an electric current to the component (e.g., the piezoelectric or acoustic component, if present) to generate mechanical force. The device can be used for nucleic acid singulation during and/or after assembly.

  • Publication number: 20190351673
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for storing digital information by assembling an identifier nucleic acid molecule from at least a first component nucleic acid molecule and a second component nucleic acid molecule. The system may include a first printhead configured to dispense a first droplet of a first solution comprising the first component nucleic acid molecule onto a coordinate on a substrate, and a second printhead configured to dispense a second droplet of a second solution comprising the second component nucleic acid molecule onto the coordinate on the substrate, such that the first and second component nucleic acid molecules are collocated on the substrate. The system may include a finisher that dispenses a reaction mix onto the coordinate on the substrate to physically link the first and second component nucleic acid molecules, provides a condition necessary to physically link the first and second component nucleic acid molecules, or both.
