CirGO (Circular Gene Ontology) Software

Prioritization of gene ontology terms from differential gene expression analyses in a two-dimensional format remains a challenge with exponentially growing data volumes. Typically, gene ontology terms are represented as tree-maps that enclose all data into defined space. However, large data sets make this type of visualisation appear cluttered and busy, and often not informative as some labels are omitted due space limits, especially when published inĀ  two-dimensional (2D) figures. We developed an open source software visualisation tool freely available on github [1] to overcome these limitations. Out publication can be found under open access on [2].
