Abstract: A method of generating a codebook includes obtaining a plurality of gene-identifying code words for the codebook. Each gene-identifying code word is represented by a sequence of N bits that correspond to a best match to a pixel data value identifying a gene. A plurality of negative control code words is generated, and each negative control code word is represented by a sequence of N bits. The negative control code words have an equal number of on-values. On-values of the plurality of negative control code words are evenly distributed across the N bits such that each ordinal position in the sequence of N bits has a same total number of on-bits from the plurality of negative control code words, and a Hamming distance between each negative control code word and each gene-identify code word is at least a distance threshold.

Abstract: For acquisition of spatial transcriptomic information, one or more filters are applied to deconvolution is performed on each image of a plurality of images to generate a plurality of filtered images, and registration of the plurality of filtered images is performed to generate a plurality of registered and filtered images. For each pixel of at least two pixels of the plurality of registered and filtered images, the pixel is decoded by identifying a code word from a plurality of code words in a code book that provides a best match to data values in the plurality of registered and filtered images for the pixel. For each pixel of at least two pixels, a gene is associated with the code word is determined and an indication that the gene is expressed at the pixel is stored.

Abstract: A computer program product includes instructions to cause one or more computers to obtain first and second images in the same color channel in the same hybridization step from a fluorescent in-situ hybridization imaging system, and to register the first image and the second image. One or more pixels having a first intensity exceeding a first threshold in the first image and having a second intensity exceeding a second threshold in the second image are identified and classified as activated in a first readout call, and one or more pixels having the first intensity exceeding the first threshold in the first image and the second intensity below the second threshold in the second image are identified and classified as activated in a second readout call.

Abstract: In acquisition of spatial transcriptomic information, a plurality of images representing a common field of view of a sample are obtained and registered. Each pixel of the registered images is decoded by identifying a code word from a plurality of code words in a code book that provides a best match to data values in the plurality of registered images for the pixel. For each code word identified as a best match and each pixel, whether a bit ratio for an image word for the pixel meets a threshold for the code word is determined. The image word is formed from the data values in the plurality of registered images for the pixel. For at least one pixel that is determined to meet the threshold, a gene associated with the code word is determined. Pixels for which the bit ratio does not meet the threshold are screened.
