Circos Collaborates with Wired

When Wired needed an inforgraphic to illustrate the complex world of relationships on the TV Series Lost, it turned to Circos.

In collaboration with Christy Sheppard, Wired's Art Director, Martin Krzywinski created the illustration for the April 22 2010 issue.

Circos Maps Cancer Landscapes

Nature features an article by Heidi Ledford, The Cancer Genome Challenge, which discusses the progress and challenges of identifying structural variation signatures in cancer genomes.

Circos images are used throughout the piece, taken from the COSMIC project (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer).

Circos Collaborates with Wired

When Wired needed an inforgraphic to illustrate the complex world of relationships on the TV Series Lost, it turned to Circos.

The task was to visually represent about 60 relationships shared between 35 characters. The tableviewer utility, which applies Circos to visualizing tabular data, was perfect for creating the illustration. And thus, Circos says goodbye to the table.

Visualizing Genomic Data

For an example of how Circos can be used in genomics, see the Guide to Use in Genomics and Sequence Analysis.

Circos is great for genomic data. Your genomic data! (600 x 415)
Circos has features that makes it ideal for drawing genomic information. Shown here are ChIP-Seq, chr 22 methylation, whole-genome methylation, multi-species comparison, human genome variation and self-similarity and MLL recombinome.

Visualizing Non-Genomic Data

For a tour of Circos features, see Visual Guide to Features and Applications.

For an example of how Circos can be used to visual tabular data, see the Guide to Creating Circular Layouts of Tabular Data.

Circos is great for general data. Your general data! (600 x 415)
Circos is suitable for showing any kind of relationships among data. Shown here are car purchase trends, chemical reactivity, and dating trends, among others.
