a

i, j, k, l are barcode sequences that allow functionalization and are used to localize dyes with complementary strands. XL is a palindromic sequence for self-hybridizing duplex formation.

b

Synthesised via ligation rather than RCA, because RCA cannot be performed due to the strong CG base pairing (and their unusually high content).

c

The lower case number denotes the range of degree of polymerization obtained from gel electrophoresis (Supplementary Note 1, Supplementary Fig. 1).
