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.

Circos appears in presentation "Science as Lens" by Adam Bly, Seed's editor-in-chief. Adam writes "Science as a subject is extraordinary. There is no subject bigger, there is no subject more exciting, there's no subject changing our times more profoundly. Science as a lens is our future."

"The cover graphic is a dramatic visual representation of some of the chromosomal connections between the dog and human genomes," Schoonmaker said. "It helps readers understand how physical differences between dogs and humans, and between one dog and another, can be so large, even though they share much genetically." (more).

Circos is included in Visual Complexity. The page also links to Schemaball, an older project that uses circular layout to visualize database schemas.
