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.
