+
+For diploid haplotype-resolved genome assembly, hifiasm can further enhance assembly contiguity 
+by introducing scaffolding. It leverages the assemblies of the two haplotypes to scaffold each other. 
+Specifically, if there is a gap within the haplotype 1 assembly, hifiasm will use the corresponding 
+homologous region in haplotype 2 to scaffold haplotype 1. Below is an example using the `--dual-scaf` option:
+```sh
+hifiasm -o NA12878.asm -t32 --dual-scaf HiFi-reads.fq.gz
+```

 Hifiasm generates different types of assemblies based on the input data.
