1. A method of decoding an array, said method comprising:

  • providing an array comprising a plurality of distinct capture probes, wherein said capture probes are randomly distributed on said array;

    hybridizing a plurality of first sets of decoder probes with said capture probes, wherein each of said first sets of decoder probes comprises a different label, each different label producing a different signal;

    hybridizing a plurality of second sets of decoder probes with said capture probes, wherein each of said second sets of decoder probes is different from said first sets of decoder probes, and wherein each of said second sets of decoder probes comprises a different label, each different label producing a different signal; and

    detecting said different signals produced by the hybridization of said first sets of decoder probes and detecting said different signals produced by the hybridization of said second sets of decoder probes so as to generate a code indicative of the location of a capture probe, thereby decoding said array.
