Abstract
Fiducial markers are provided on a patterned array of the type that may be used for molecular analysis, such as sequencing. The fiducial markers may have configurations and layouts that enhance their detection in image or detection data, that facilitate or improve processing, that provide encoding of useful information, and so forth. Examples of the fiducial markers may include non-rectilinear layouts that may provide for more robust location of both the fiducial markers and sites of the patterned array.
