Rapid evolution of long-read sequencing technologies requires accurate, fast and user-friendly genome assembly and scaffolding tools. In this article we present Digital Scaffolding (dScaff), a bioinformatics tool that performs scaffolding of de novo genome assemblies based on reference scaffolds or chromosomes. dScaff makes use of a series of bash and R scripts in order to create a minimal complete scaffold from a genome assembly, with future features to be implemented. Herein, we demonstrate the functionality of dScaff on a novel genome assembly pertaining to a recently sequenced local strain of Drosophila suzukii .
