Creation of Circos plot is one of the most efficient approaches to visualize genomic data. However, the installation and use of existing tools to make Circos plot are challenging for users lacking of coding experiences. To address this issue, we developed an R/Shiny application shinyCircos, a graphical user interface for interactive creation of Circos plot. shinyCircos can be easily installed either on computers for personal use or on local or public servers to provide online use to the community. Furthermore, various types of Circos plots could be easily generated and decorated with simple mouse-click.
shinyCircos and its manual are freely available at https://github.com/venyao/shinyCircos. shinyCircos is deployed at https://yimingyu.shinyapps.io/shinycircos/ and http://shinycircos.ncpgr.cn/ for online use.
创建 Circos 图是可视化基因组数据最有效的方法之一。然而，对于缺乏编码经验的用户来说，安装和使用现有的 Circos 图工具来制作 Circos 图具有一定的挑战性。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一个 R/Shiny 应用程序 shinyCircos，这是一个用于交互式创建 Circos 图的图形用户界面。shinyCircos 可以轻松地在个人计算机上安装，也可以在本地或公共服务器上安装，以便为社区提供在线使用。此外，还可以通过简单的鼠标点击轻松生成和装饰各种类型的 Circos 图。
shinyCircos 及其手册可在 https://github.com/venyao/shinyCircos 上免费获得。shinyCircos 部署在 https://yimingyu.shinyapps.io/shinycircos/ 和 http://shinycircos.ncpgr.cn/ 上，以供在线使用。
