@robsyme I'm excited to hear you've been trying scaffolder. Were there any problems or do you have any suggestions?

@bioinformatics: Just used scaffolder to piece together some fungal genomes from agp+contigs. Super easy, thanks! gist.github.com/1111201

An example of one motivation for writing scaffolder: machinesplusminds.blogspot.com/2011/06/textua…. You may not be the only person working on the genome.

Just uploaded Pre-print of scaffolder manuscript to Nature Precedings - precedings.nature.com/documents/5779…

Description of file format for writing scaffolds now up at scaffolder-format.7 man page - next.gs/man/scaffolder…

@DaveMessina Me too. There's a lot of new assembly algorithms being produced recently. It's refreshed my interest in algorithms in general.
