myCircos - Facilitating the Creation and Use of Circos Plots Online

Résumé

Circos plots were designed to display large amounts of processed genomic information on a single graphical representation. The creation of such plots remains challenging for less technical users as the leading tool requires command-line proficiency. Here, we introduce myCircos, a web application that facilitates the generation of Circos plots by providing an intuitive user interface, adding interactive functionalities to the representation and providing persistence of previous requests. myCircos is available at - http -//mycircos.iric.ca. Non registered users can explore the application through the Guest user. Source code (for local server installation) is available upon request.,
