Abstract
A database implemented by storing information encoded in DNA molecules provides high information density but the information is more difficult to access than in conventional electronic storage media. A relational database is a way of organizing information by using multiple related tables. Relational algebra operations are performed on relational databases to locate and manipulate information. This disclosure provides techniques for implementing relational algebra operations on a relational database that uses DNA molecules to store information. The techniques of this disclosure relate to the structure of DNA molecules used to store the information and to correlations between relational algebra operations and manipulations of DNA molecules.
