Nucleic acid hybridization capture is a principal technology in molecular ecology and genomics. Bait design, however, is a nontrivial task and few resources currently exist to automate the process. Here, I present baitstools , an open‐source, user‐friendly software package to facilitate the design of nucleic acid baits for hybridization capture.
