Visualisation with Circos
Abstract
Circos is a software package for visualizing data in a circular layout. This makes Circos ideal for exploring relationships between objects or positions. Circos plots have appeared in thousands of scientific publications. Although originally designed for visualizing genomic data, it can create figures from data in any field. In this tutorial we discuss the Galactic Circos tool which enables you to access Circos via the convenient Galaxy interface, and even produce plots as part of your workflows!
