New Polynomial-Time Algorithm around the Scaffolding Problem

Abstract

We describe in this paper an approximation algorithm for the scaffolding problem, which is part of genome inference in bioinformatics. The aim of the problem is to find a maximum weighted collection of disjoint alternating cycles and paths covering a particular graph called scaffold graph. The problem is known to be NP-complete, and we describe further result concerning a special class of graphs aiming to be close to real instances. The described algorithm is the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm designed for this problem on non-complete graphs.
