Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure describes a technique for bootstrapping the reading of a dna data storage archive from information contained in the oligonucleotides of the archive. labeling oligonucleotides are added to the dna data storage archive. the labeling oligonucleotides are amplified by a known pair of primers. the sequence of nucleotides between the primers functions as an uncoded identifier that is used to look up a decoding technique. the association between the uncoded identifier and the decoding technique may be stored in a network-accessible database. data storage oligonucleotides in the dna data storage archive can then be decoded and digital data recovered by use of the decoding technique. knowledge of the primers and location of the database is thus sufficient to read the dna data storage archive even if external labeling information that provides the decoding technique for the archive is lost.
