Introduction of Circos

Circos - flexible and automatable circular data visualization

Circos is a program for the generation of publication-quality,circularly composited renditions of genomic data and related annotations.

Circos is particularly suited for visualizing alignments, conservation and intra and inter-chromosomal relationships.

But wait. Also, Circos is useful to visualize any type of information that benefits from a circular layout. 
Thus, although it has been designed for the field of genomics, it is sufficiently flexible to be used in other data domains.
