    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for processing spatially related sequence data received from a sequencing device are presented. In one or more embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a sequencing device, image data associated with a sample. The computing platform may identify, based on the image data received from the sequencing device, a first sequence located at first spatial coordinates. Subsequently, the computing platform may store, in a spatially searchable database, a first data element comprising the first spatial coordinates and a first identifier corresponding to the first sequence to spatially relate the first sequence to other sequences present in the sample.
