Abstract
A DNA storage system for binary digital data. The digital data is deduplicated is encoded into a format for representation in DNA, and DNA representing the data is synthesized and stored in pools in a primary library, a hash library and a data library. The primary library stores DNA for accessing a hash object in the hash library corresponding to a hash of the data, and the hash library stores DNA for accessing a data object in the data library that contains the data. The information in the libraries includes information identifying objects, including keys, unique identifiers (UIDs), pool identifiers, and primers.
