  • Publication number: 20240404593
    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: 20230308275
    Abstract: Technologies for integrating DNA storage and DNA computing with blockchain technologies, specifically non-centralized ledgers and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Some implementations of these technologies are systems and methods that store blockchain keys in DNA molecules. Some implementations of these technologies are systems and methods that store NFT information e.g., for asset tokenization. The technologies disclosed herein can also be deployed to implement a biological blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20230036568
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for encoding and storing information in nucleic acids. Encoded information is partitioned and stored in nucleic acids having native key-value pairs that allow for storage of metadata or other data objects. Computation on the encoded information is performed by chemical implementation of if-then-else operations. Numerical data is stored in nucleic acids by producing samples having nucleic acid sequences copy counts corresponding to the numerical data. Data objects of a dataset are encoded by partitioning of bytes into parts and encoding of parts along distinct libraries of nucleic acids. These libraries can be used as inputs for computation on the dataset.
