Methods for determining a location of a feature in a spatial array with features include: (a) providing an array with a first set of one or more features immobilized on a substrate, a first feature of the first set having a first barcoded oligonucleotide with a first spatial barcode and a first constant sequence, and a second set of one or more features immobilized on the substrate, a second feature of the second set having a second barcoded oligonucleotide with a second spatial barcode and a second constant sequence; (b) attaching the first constant sequence to the second constant sequence to generate a nucleic acid product; (c) determining all or a portion of a sequence of the nucleic acid product or a complement thereof; and (d) associating the second barcoded oligonucleotide with the first barcoded oligonucleotide in the nucleic acid product. |
