Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
receiving a request for stored data;
determining a set of target wells from the plurality of wells in which the stored data is represented by machine-written polynucleotides;
determining whether each well of the set of target wells is adjacent to any used wells of the plurality of wells; and
where a target well of the set of target wells is not adjacent to any used well, activating an integrated circuit to detect fluorescence of emitted from a fluorophore of a machine-written polynucleotide and read the stored data from the target well of the set of target wells that is not adjacent to a used well, while leaving the barrier features deactivated.
