Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Johns Hopkins
My experience with Circa has been outstanding—it's an intuitive and powerful tool that has greatly simplified the visualization of complex data in my research.
Research Professor, Yeungnam University
Using Circa allowed me to integrate several datasets, identify patterns in the data and generate figures that supported a publication. The user friendly GUI is something that I would come back to even though my command-line skills are better these days.
Research Fellow in Drug Discovery, University of York
Circa is a beautiful user-friendly package that helped me plot the mtDNA methylation data of my PhD research.
Assistant Professor, College of Fisheries, RLBCAU
Absolutely loved Circa 1.0 as it made circos plotting intuitive and easy.
Associate Professor, The Australian National University
Circa is a fantastic tool that allowed me to make an awesome and professional graph for my publication, without spending weeks trying to learn how to code it! I recommend it!
Research Fellow, James Cook University, Australia
Building beautiful circular plots, especially complex ones, used to be a time-consuming and technical process, often requiring extensive configuration and file management. With Circa, it's all about customization and creativity. It's intuitive, efficient, and allows me to focus on what really matters—presenting my data in a clear, visual way.
Bioinformatician
It has been a great experience learning Circa and using it. Its smooth functioning, non-requirement of coding, and easy-to-use platform make it user-friendly even for biologists without a strong coding background.
Project Scientist, Antimicrobial Resistance Lab, AMU, India
Thank you very much for making our lives much easier. After having this program, I could make a circos plot in a couple of clicks to get publication ready images. This was an amazing experience while getting my dream plot being drawn with my own hands.
Post-Doctoral Research Associate, University of Oxford
