Scaffolding (bioinformatics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scaffolding is a technique used in bioinformatics. It is defined as follows:[1]

Link together a non-contiguous series of genomic sequences into a scaffold, consisting of sequences separated by gaps of known length. The sequences that are linked are typically contiguous sequences corresponding to read overlaps.
