Galactic Circos: User-friendly Circos plots within the Galaxy platform.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Circos is a popular, highly flexible software package for the circular visualization of complex datasets. While especially popular in the field of genomic analysis, Circos enables interactive graphing of any analytical data, including alternative scientific domain data and non-scientific data. This high degree of flexibility also comes with a high degree of complexity, which may present an obstacle for researchers not trained in programming or the UNIX command line. The Galaxy platform provides a user-friendly browser-based graphical interface incorporating a broad range of "wrapped" command line tools to facilitate accessibility.

Findings

We have developed a Galaxy wrapper for Circos, thus combining the power of Circos with the accessibility and ease of use of th
