_YACO_ (_Yet Another Contig Ordering_) is a command line program written in [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) for orienting and ordering contigs (generally, a draft genome assembly) according to a closed reference genome. Based on reciprocal BLAST searches, _YACO_ is a simple and practical tool, which generally achieves accurate results with acceptable running times (e.g. less than 10 seconds to process a 5 Mbp draft genome using 12 threads).
