## SMRTbell designs

PacBio supports three out of four different SMRTbell designs. In all designs,
transcripts are labelled with asymmetric primers, whereas the polyA tail is
optional. Barcodes can be attached in three possible ways, but only two are
supported by PacBio.
PacBio supports three different SMRTbell designs for IsoSeq libraries.
In all designs, transcripts are labelled with asymmetric primers,
whereas a polyA tail is optional.
For whole-genome libraries, barcodes can be attached to the 3' primer.

### (1) Only cDNA primers, not barcoded
A typical single-sample IsoSeq design with no barcodes.

### (2) UNSUPPORTED: cDNA primers with a 5' barcode
This barcode scheme is not supported, due to the similarities of the cDNA primers.

### (3) cDNA primers with a 3' barcode
A typical multi-sample barcoding technique. The barcode is attached to the 3'
primer.

### (4) cDNA primers with a 3' + 5' barcodes
If there is a need to sequence high-plex samples, an asymmetric approach can
be chosen, in which both, the 3' and 5' primers, are barcoded.
