shinyCircos

shinyCircos generates Circos plots to visualize genomic relationships such as genomic rearrangements, structural variations, and interactions between genomic regions.


Key Features:

  • Circos plot variety: Supports generation of a variety of Circos plot layouts to represent relationships across genomes.
  • Plot customization: Provides customization and decoration of plot elements to tailor visual representations for specific genomic data.
  • Implementation: Implemented using the R programming language and the Shiny framework.

Scientific Applications:

  • Genomic rearrangement visualization: Visualizes rearrangements across chromosomes to support comparative genome analyses.
  • Structural variation analysis: Aids identification and depiction of structural variations in genomic datasets.
  • Inter-regional interactions: Visualizes interactions between different genomic regions to reveal connectivity and links.
  • Genomic data presentation: Presents complex genomic relationships in circular layouts for reporting and interpretation.

Methodology:

Implemented in the R programming language using the Shiny web application framework.
