Scaffolding and completing genome assemblies in real-time with nanopore sequencing

Assembling genomes using currently available computational methods can be time consuming. Here, Coin and colleagues describe a bioinformatics tool named npScarf that can scaffold and complete an existing short read assembly in real-time using nanopore sequencing.
