interacCircos

interacCircos generates interactive Circos plots by integrating JavaScript-based libraries into the R environment to visualize large-scale genomic relationships.

Key Features:

• Integration with R and JavaScript-based libraries: Integrates JavaScript plotting libraries within R to produce interactive Circos visualizations.
• Track and auxiliary functions: Provides 14 track-plot functions and 7 auxiliary functions for constructing diverse Circos track types and associated plot elements.
• Interactive visualization: Produces interactive plots that enable selection and exploration of specific regions or features within the Circos layout.
• Large-scale genomic data support: Supports visualization of large genomic datasets to represent genome-wide relationships and features.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomic relationship visualization: Exploration and presentation of complex relationships within large genomic datasets.
• Structural variation analysis: Identification and visualization of structural variants across genomes.
• Gene interaction visualization: Mapping and interactive exploration of gene–gene interactions and networks.
• Chromosomal rearrangement mapping: Visualization and inspection of chromosomal translocations, inversions, and other rearrangements.

Methodology:

Integration of JavaScript-based libraries within the R environment to render interactive Circos plots using the package's 14 track-plot functions and 7 auxiliary functions.
