10x is a "synthetic long-read" technology and works by capturing a barcoded oligo-coated gel-bead and 0.3x genome copies into a single emulsion droplet, processing the equivalent of 1 million pipetting steps. Successive versions of the 10x chemistry use different barcode locations to improve the sequencing yield and quality of 10x experiments.
