Summary of barcodes designed based on three attributes. The values are the observed minimum distance and GC content percentage using DNAsmart. Meyer et al.* [42] barcodes were designed based on Levenshtein distance.

Barcodes	Number of barcodes	Hamming distance	Levenshtein distance	GC content
Adey et al.	96	–	2	40–60%
Hamady et al.	80	2	–	50%
Meyer et al.	52	3	–	< 40% – > 60%
Meyer et al.*	75	–	2	< 40% – > 60%
