Video Analysis and Summarization

JavaScript-based Circos libraries have been widely implemented to generate interactive Circos plots in web applications. However, these libraries require either local installation, which requires the compilation of extra libraries, or extra data processing procedures to prepare input and configuration for each track of plot, which limits the utility and capability of integration with powerful R packages. In this report, we present interacCircos, an R package for creating interactive Circos plots through the integration of JavaScript-based libraries. interacCircos can simply and flexibly implement 14 track-plot functions and 7 auxiliary functions for presenting large-scale genomic data in interactive Circos plots.InteracCircos and its manual are freely available at https://github.com/mrcuizhe/interacCircos under the GPL license.
