  "Feature Barcoding" refers to using antibodies linked to specific oligos. The antibodies can then bind to cell surface markers of interest and the oligos they're conjugated with turned into normal scRNA-seq reads. This effectively means you can get a FACs profile for each cell without needing to run it through a FACs sorter and individually label it.
  
  The "feature barcoding" nomenclature comes from 10X I think, but there are a few similar protocols (maybe they're exactly the same in the end, I'm not sure about the details) such as [CITE-seq](https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.4380) and [REAP-seq](https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.3973). You can see a talk from 10X on this [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzVMVAO7Af0).
