Abstract
Methods, system, and kits are provided for sample identification, and, more specifically, for designing, and/or making, and/or using sample discriminating codes or barcodes for identifying sample nucleic acids or other biomolecules or polymers. For example, a plurality of flowspace codewords may be generated, the codewords comprising a string of characters. A location for at least one padding character within the flowspace codewords may be determined. The padding character may be inserted into the flowspace codewords at the determined location. After the inserting, a plurality of the flowspace codewords may be selected based on satisfying a predetermined minimum distance criteria, wherein the selected codewords correspond to valid base space sequences according to a predetermined flow order. And the barcode sequences corresponding to the selected codewords may be manufactured.
