Circos plot

Question

[shwetamgr1]

I am trying to draw a Circos map to show the Metaqtl region on the chromosome ( some group of genes comes under particular Metaqtl region). As shown in the picture of a publication. I have drawn the basic chromosomes but need help with further part.

If you're using the original Circos library, start with the Hello, World tutorial and work your way up to more complex examples.

If you're using Python, there is a Python copy of Circos here:

https://github.com/ponnhide/pyCircos

The README includes a link to an online Google Colab notebook that demonstrates its use for a basic plot.

If you're using another environment, modify your question with more details about what you're using, what you're trying to do, and what you have tried so far. Include your code. You'll get a lot more help on sites like these, if you demonstrate that you have made an effort to work out the problem, yourself.
