Burrows (Burrows, Theia, software)

Burrows is a subgraph alignment algorithm developed for Theia, a software platform that helps identify and compare specific regions within biological sequences like DNA or proteins. It efficiently finds matching patterns or motifs across large datasets by mapping input sequences onto known reference graphs. This approach allows researchers to analyze genetic variation and structural differences more accurately than traditional linear methods. Designed for high performance, Burrows enables rapid, precise searches within complex genomic data, aiding in fields like genomics research, diagnostics, and personalized medicine.
