Abstract: In some embodiments, a molecular tagging system that uses synthetic DNA-based tags is provided. In some embodiments, a kit for tagging objects with molecular tags is provided that comprises a plurality of molbit reservoirs. Each molbit reservoir is associated with a molbit and includes nucleic acid molecules that represent the molbit. In some embodiments, a method is provided wherein a digital tag value is determined, the digital tag value is converted to a molbit tag value, nucleic acid molecules associated with each molbit value indicated as present in the molbit tag value are combined, and the combined nucleic acid molecules are applied to an object to tag the object. In some embodiments, a system is provided that includes a computing system configured to receive raw nanopore signals from a sequencing device, to identify molbits based on the signals, and to determine a digital tag based on the identified molbits.
