Abstract: Systems and methods for spatial analysis of analytes include placing a sample on a substrate having fiducial markers and capture spots. Then, an image of the sample is acquired and sequence reads are obtained from the capture spots. Each capture probe plurality in a set of capture probe pluralities is (i) at a different capture spot, (ii) directly or indirectly associates with analytes from the sample and (iii) has a unique spatial barcode. The sequencing reads serve to detect the analytes. Sequencing reads include a spatial barcode of the corresponding capture probe plurality. Spatial barcodes localize reads to corresponding capture spots, thereby dividing them into subsets, each subset for a respective capture spot. Fiducial markers facilitate a composite representation comprising (i) the image aligned to the capture spots and (ii) a representation of each subset of sequence reads at respective positions within the image mapping to the corresponding capture spots.
