Abstract: Embodiments for storing digital data in DNA storage by receiving input file data, encoding the input file data into an oligonucleotide sequence to produce sequence data through a transformation of text to binary to Base_3 encoding, organizing the Base_3 sequence data into chunks of a defined chunk size, and storing the chunks in a block of a blockchain. The oligonucleotide sequence may comprise metadata for the input file data that refers to actual data stored in the DNA storage, where the actual data is formed by synthesizing the oligonucleotide sequence in a DNA synthesis process. The chunks may be stored in the blockchain only if the block agrees with a smart contract defined for the oligonucleotide sequence.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for handling inbound service requests analyzes content of the message to extract a set of features, and generating a feature vector based on the set of extracted features. A categorization metric for the feature vector is then determined, using a set of predetermined categorization vectors, wherein each predetermined categorization vector corresponds to a respective portal endpoint associated with one or more predefined ticket types and sub-types of an information technology service management system. In response to the categorization metric satisfying a comparison criteria with respect to one or more predetermined categorization vectors, a particular portal endpoint is selected. Content from the email message is then extracted. A new issue object request is then automatically generated in accordance with a particular object requirement set associated with the particular portal endpoint for submission to an issue tracking system to create a new issue object.
