Circos 是什麼？
Circos is a software package for visualizing data and information in a circular layout. It is ideal for exploring relationships between objects or positions, and for creating publication-quality infographics with a high data-to-ink ratio. Originally designed for genomic data, it can visualize data from any field. It is controlled by plain-text configuration files, making it easily automatable and incorporable into data pipelines.
