Abstract
Stacksbinder (available at https://ps.agr.ryukoku.ac.jp/stacksbinder/) is a web-based tool for summarizing the output of software Stacks, which is widely used to analyze restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-Seq) data. Although summarization is an essential step in RAD-Seq analysis, no specific tools exist for summarizing and visualizing these data. Stacksbinder generates a summary report by using files exported from Stacks. The report is HTML-based and easy to browse in any environment. It consists of plots and tables containing information that can be used to assess the quality of experiments and determine the filtering of single nucleotide polymorphisms.
