Use Minimap2 for scaffolding instead of SortMeRNA
SortMeRNA is designed to align short reads, Illumina type, and is used as the starting step in MATAM. SortMeRNA is also used to re-align the assembled contigs onto the reference database to perform scaffolding. This is not optimal, and for scaffolding, SortMeRNA should probably be replaced by a more appropriate mapper such as Minimap2.
