Circos plots are widely used to display multi-dimensional next-generation genomic data, but existing implementations of Circos are not interactive with limited support of data types. Here, we developed next-generation Circos (NG-Circos), a flexible JavaScript-based circular genome visualization tool for designing highly interactive Circos plots using 21 functional modules with various data types. To our knowledge, NG-Circos is the most powerful software to construct interactive Circos plots. By supporting diverse data types in a dynamic browser interface, NG-Circos will accelerate the next-generation data visualization and interpretation, thus promoting the reproducible research in biomedical sciences and beyond. NG-Circos is available at https://wlcb.oit.uci.edu/NG-Circos and https://github.com/YaCui/NG-Circos.
Circos图被广泛用于展示多维下一代基因组数据,但现有的Circos实现缺乏交互性,且对数据类型的支持有限。在此,我们开发了下一代Circos(NG-Circos),这是一个基于JavaScript的灵活的环形基因组可视化工具,用于使用21个具有各种数据类型的功能模块设计高度交互式的Circos图。据我们所知,NG-Circos是构建交互式Circos图最强大的软件。通过在动态浏览器界面中支持多种数据类型,NG-Circos将加速下一代数据的可视化和解读,从而促进生物医学及其他领域的可重复研究。可通过https://wlcb.oit.uci.edu/NG-Circos和https://github.com/YaCui/NG-Circos获取NG-Circos。
