Abstract

In molecular self-assembly such as DNA origami, a circular strand’s topological routing determines the feasibility of a design to assemble to a target. In this regard, the Chinese-postman DNA scaffold routings of Benson et al. (2015) only ensure the unknottedness of the scaffold strand for triangulated topological spheres. In this paper, we present a cubic-time \(\frac{5}{3}-\)approximation algorithm to compute unknotted Chinese-postman scaffold routings on triangulated orientable surfaces of higher genus. Our algorithm guarantees every edge is routed at most twice, hence permitting low-packed designs suitable for physiological conditions.

Footnotes
1
By convention, if \(k=0\), then \(v_0\) is affinely independent.
 
2
Detachments are also defined in the literature [11] for multigraphs without an associated embedding.
 
3
\(X^{\star }\) is the subgraph of the dual of M induced by the duals of the cut edges.
 
4
Although stated only for Eulerian multigraphs embedded on a plane, Tsai and West’s proof also holds for Eulerian multigraphs embedded on any surface since the resplicing occurs locally at vertices.
