This disclosure describes a technique for performing random access in a pool of polynucleotides by using one unique primer and one homopolymer primer to selectively amplify some but not all of the polynucleotides in the pool. The polynucleotides are synthesized by a template independent polymerase such as terminal deoxynucleotide transferase (TdT) rather than by phosphoramidite synthesis. Enzymatic synthesis efficiently creates homopolymer sequences through unregulated synthesis. Use of one homopolymer primer instead of two unique primers decreases the complexity, time, and cost of synthesizing the polynucleotides. Use of a unique primer provides a sequence that can be varied to uniquely identify multiple different groups of polynucleotides. This enables random access by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification while still benefitting from the efficiency of homopolymer synthesis. The polynucleotides may include payload regions that use a sequence of nucleotides to encode digital data.

A method, system, and computer-readable storage device for transferring data from a database management system to a data analytics system is described herein. In one aspect, a database management node storing a data partition of a database table that is distributed across a plurality of database management nodes of a database management system receives a data transfer request from a data analytics node of a data analytics node cluster. The data transfer request may include a data transfer policy for splitting the data partition onto the data analytics node cluster. A data split may be identified from the data partition. The data split may be a subset of the data partition. The data split is communicated to the data analytics node according to the data transfer policy.
