SUPERCONTIGS: A Contig Scaffolding Tool

SUPERCONTIGS is a genome-finishing tool that orders, orients and groups contigs based on clone pair information and an alignment with a related genome. The program can be used in the genome finishing and gap closing process. SUPERCONTIGS is a Perl script that runs on Unix-like systems. It is available at http://www.vcu.edu/csbc/bccl/research-downloads.htm as a copy-left public domain program.
