“…Alongside its widespread use as a molecular protocol, a variety of bioinformatic software has been designed to work specifically with RADseq data (Catchen et al., 2011; Catchen, Hohenlohe, Bassham, Amores, & Cresko, 2013; Chong, Ruan, & Wu, 2012; Eaton, 2014; Eaton & Overcast, 2020; Melo & Hale, 2019; Puritz, Hollenbeck, & Gold, 2014), and methods have been developed to optimize the application of these software after data generation (Ilut, Nydam, & Hare, 2014; McCartney‐Melstad, Gidiş, & Shaffer, 2019; Paris, Stevens, & Catchen, 2017; Rochette & Catchen, 2017). However, software and parameter optimization protocols are not effective if the underlying sequenced data has captured little of the true biological signal.…”
