In interacCircos: The Visualization of Interactive Circos Plot

interacCircos

The interacCircos package is designed for visualization of interactive Circos plot

Introduction

The interacCircos package is inspired by circosJS, BioCircos.js and NG-Circos.

circosJS, BioCircos.js and NG-Circos are developed in JavaScript to provide a framework for displaying the interactive Circos plot in website.

For these 3 JavaScript library, plot are all drawn through different JS functions(back-end) and displayed through HTML element(front-end), which requires users be familiar with JavaScript language and HTML language very much. Besides, the way of data input in JavaScript is not user-friendly, especially for data with millions of rows.

We integrate the modules of circosJS, BioCircos.js and NG-Circos into this R package: interacCircos, based on htmlwidgets framework.

Features

• 21 modules(Arc, Auxilirayline, Background, Bubble, Chord,chord.p, Cnv, Combination, Compare, Gene, Heatmap, Histogram, Legend, Line, Link, Lollipop, Redirect, Scatter, Snp, Text, Wig) of circosJS, BioCircos.js and NG-Circos are available at interacCircos. All modules from different libraries are now presented in R function and compatible to each other.

• Instead of transforming data using python script of manually, the data can be directly input into interacCircos through data.frame format, which is one of the most common data type of R and can easily cooperate with other R packages.

• interacCircos is much more programming friendly. Users can draw a multi-track interactive Circos plot in at least 2 steps, as easy as drawing a plot using ggplot2.
