    abstract = {Summary: Using adequate DNA barcodes is essential to
      unambiguously identify each DNA library within a multiplexed set
      of libraries sequenced using next-generation sequencers. We
      introduce DNABarcodeCompatibility, an R-package that allows one
      to design single or dual-barcoding multiplex experiments by
      imposing desired constraints on the barcodes (including sequencer
      chemistry, barcode pairwise minimal distance, and nucleotide
      content), while optimizing barcode frequency usage, thereby
      allowing one to both facilitate the demultiplexing step and spare
      expensive library-preparation kits. The package comes with a
      user-friendly interface and a web app developed in Java and
      Shiny, respectively, with the aim to help bridge the expertise of
      core facilities with the experimental needs of non-experienced
      users. Availability and implementation: DNABarcodeCompatibility
      can be easily extended to fulfil specific project needs. The
      source codes of the R-package and its user interfaces are
      publicly available along with documentation at
      [https://github.com/comoto-pasteur-fr] under the GPL-2 licence.
