iRegulon: From a Gene List to a Gene Regulatory Network Using Large Motif and Track Collections

Identifying master regulators of biological processes and mapping their downstream gene networks are key challenges in systems biology. iRegulon is a software that implements a genome-wide ranking-and-recovery approach to detect enriched transcription factor motifs and their optimal sets of direct targets. The software can be obtained from this website

Circleator: Flexible Circular Visualization of Genome-Associated Data

Came through this interesting package which builds graphs similar to Circos but just a little easier

“Circleator is a Perl application that generates circular figures of genome-associated data. It leverages BioPerl to support standard annotation and sequence file formats and produces publication-quality SVG output. It is designed to be both flexible and easy to use. It includes a library of circular track types and predefined configuration files for common use-cases, including: 1. visualizing gene annotation and DNA sequence data from a GenBank flat file,
2. displaying patterns of gene conservation in related microbial strains,
3. showing SNPs and indels relative to a reference genome and gene set, and
4. viewing RNA-Seq plots.”
