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.
