http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmcloser/

Software that fills and closes the gaps present in scaffold assemblies, especially those generated by the de novo assembly of whole genomes with next-generation sequencing (NGS) reads. Unlike other gap-closing tools that use only NGS reads, GMcloser uses preassembled contig sets or long read sets as the sequences to close gaps and uses paired-end (PE) reads and a likelihood-based algorithm to improve the accuracy and efficiency of gap closure. The efficiency of gap closure can be increased by successive treatments with different contig sets.

http://bioinformatics.rutgers.edu/Software/SLiQ/

Software for simple linear inequalities based Mate-Pair reads filtering and scaffolding. A set of simple linear inequalities (SLIQ) derived from the geometry of contigs on the line that can be used to predict the relative positions and orientations of contigs from individual mate pair reads and thus produce a contig digraph. The SLIQ inequalities can also filter out unreliable mate pairs and can be used as a pre-processing step for any scaffolding algorithm. This tool filters mate pairs and then produces a Directed Contig Graph (contig diGraph). Also provided is a Naive scaffolder that can then produce scaffolds out of the contig diGraph.
