EDNAmap: A Metabarcoding Web Tool for Comparing Marine Biodiversity, With Special Reference to Teleost Fish.

ABSTRACT: Marine environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data are beginning to accumulate, even for remote and poorly studied areas, such as marine environments. These data enable us to identify distributions of target organisms and then to compare biological compositions between different marine areas. However, there is no platform to effectively utilise and accumulate these data. In this study, we developed eDNAmap, a web-based platform designed to analyse and store marine eDNA metabarcoding data. By uploading species or sequence composition data with location information, eDNAmap users can automatically (1) plot sampling locations on a map, (2) generate a heatmap to evaluate potential batch effects arising from methodological differences and (3) perform nonmetric multidimensional scaling and clust
