Scaffold_builder is software to order contigs generated by draft sequencing along a reference sequence. Gaps are filled with N's and small overlaps are aligned with Needleman–Wunsch algorithm and the consensus created with IUPAC codes. Scaffold_builder can help in the assembly and annotation of genomes by revealing what is missing and allowing targeted sequencing to close those gaps.
