= Spatial barcoding
<Spatial barcoding> attaches a location-associated sequence label to a measured <molecule> or its derivative. In <spatial transcriptomics>, sequencing the barcode together with captured <RNA> connects expression measurements to <tissue> position. The barcode identifies the sampling location rather than necessarily the exact original molecular coordinate or a unique <cell>. <Slide-seq> implements the principle with individually barcoded, position-mapped beads. <Visualization and analysis of gene expression in tissue sections by spatial transcriptomics by Patrik L. Ståhl and others>[2016, spatially barcoded capture probes]{ref}
