Abstract
Methods and systems for performing in situ decoding are described that minimize optical crowding, thereby improving decoding accuracy. The methods may comprise, e.g., receiving images of a biological sample acquired during a cyclical decoding process; detecting a series of detectable signals (ON signals) or absence thereof (OFF signals) at one or more locations in the biological sample corresponding to one or more barcoded target analytes; determining a code word based on the series of ON and OFF signals that corresponds to a barcode for each of the one or more barcoded target analytes, where the one or more code words are assigned to the one or more barcoded target analytes based on a minimax decision rule to minimize a density of ON signals detected in the images of the series of images; and identifying the one or more barcoded target analytes based on the one or more determined code words.
