1. A system for assembling a nucleic acid molecule encoding digital information, the system comprising:
(a) a first printhead configured to dispense a first dry component nucleic acid molecule onto a coordinate on a substrate;
(b) a second printhead configured to dispense a second component nucleic acid molecule onto the coordinate on the substrate, such that the first and second component nucleic acid molecules are collocated on the substrate; and
(c) a finisher that dispenses a reaction mix onto the coordinate on the substrate to physically link the first and second component nucleic acid molecules, provides a condition necessary to physically link the first and second component nucleic acid molecules, or both.
