Using Circos in Galaxy Australia
This workshop is an introduction to Circos, its applications and use within Galaxy Australia.
This interactive workshop will show you how to select, filter and visualise heterogenous data and create Circos diagrams with line plots, histograms, heatmaps, links and chords using the Galaxy Australia frontend. Practical scenarios such as drawing genome annotations, mutations, alignments and variants will be covered. You will also learn how Circos works under the hood to help you add customisations to its configuration and extend use cases explored in the workshop.
Presenter Martin Krzywinski works in bioinformatics, data visualisation, science communication and the interface of science and art. He applies design, both data and artistic, to assist discovery, explanation and engagement with scientific data and concepts. Martin is the creator of Circos and hive plots and his information graphics have appeared in the New York Times, Wired, Scientific American and covers of numerous books and scientific journals such as Nature and Genome Research. He is a co-author of the Nature Methods Points of View and Points of Significance columns.
This is a nationally distributed workshop with hubs around Australia, including UQ St Lucia. Martin will lead this hybrid workshop live online and participants will be supported at each venue by trained local facilitators.
Martin will host a webinar (The essence of data visualisation in bioinformatics) preceding the workshop on Monday, 3 February, 11am–12pm AEST. Those interested are welcome to join the webinar without attending the workshop. However, it is recommended that those participating in the workshop also join the webinar. Note that the webinar is an independent event and you will need to register separately for it.
