BioCircos.js: An interactive Circos JavaScript library for biological data visualization on web applications

Abstract

Summary: We here present BioCircos.js, an interactive and lightweight JavaScript library especially for biological data interactive visualization. BioCircos.js facilitates the development of web-based applications for circular visualization of various biological data, such as genomic features, genetic variations, gene expression and biomolecular interactions. Availability and implementation: BioCircos.js and its manual are freely available online at http://bioinfo.ibp.ac.cn/biocircos/. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
