Scaffhunter regroups several programs which principal aims are to work and visualize genetic mapping data. In addition to 2D visualization of linkage between markers, these tools can be used to order scaffolds without passing by the tedious step of genetic map construction and reconciliation between marker order in scaffold and marker order in the genetic map.

All proposed tools described here are written in python and work on linux system To install the tools: 1- unzip the tar.gz file with the following command line : tar -xvzf 2- open the loca_programs.conf file 3- set the path to each programs required
To run fully all programs are needed: 1- blast 2- bowtie2 can be found at https://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/bowtie2/index.shtml 3- bwa can be found at https://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net 4- orthodotter is provided in the bin directory with these tools perl, python and java are required. Biopython is also required. Two of these tools use orthodotter program provided in this archive. This program has been developed by Jean-Marc Aury (Institut de Genomique / DSV / CEA, FRANCE) and is deposited under CeCILL license https://www.cecill.info.
