Circular plot for RNA seq - methylation data

Question

[simone.castellana]

Hello,

could anyone suggest a program or and R package to procude ciruclar plot with genetic data?

In my specific case what I would like to plot is a ciruclar plot with RNA seq data (log2 fold change of genes) and methylation data (delta Meth of genes) A. thaliana in one plot.

I tried with "Circos" but it has a really steep learning curve; are there any alternatives out there?

Thank you!

Try the R package circlize, it's got great documentation (although the learning curve may be more steep than your usual R package due all the possibilities it grants). There's also an interactive shiny app based on circlize.

Edit: the R package ggbio may be more simple; I've used it for linear plots, but it also has options for cicular plots.
