Abstract

We previously developed shinyCircos, an interactive web application for creating Circos diagrams, which has been widely recognized for its graphical user interface and ease of use. Here, we introduce shinyCircos-V2.0, an upgraded version of shinyCircos that includes a new user interface with enhanced usability and many new features for creating advanced Circos plots. To help users get started with shinyCircos-V2.0, we provide detailed tutorials and example input data sets. The application is available online at https://venyao.xyz/shinyCircos/ and https://asiawang.shinyapps.io/shinyCircos/, or can be installed locally using the source code deposited in GitHub (https://github.com/YaoLab-Bioinfo/shinyCircos-V2.0).
