This paper discusses a graph that determines the genus of a Turaev surface and uses it to classify link diagrams when such genus is less than three, proving that similar classification theorems exist for all genera. Its survey of related work concludes: ``Finding a new method for computing Turaev genus remains a challenging open question.''
