Common uses of the tool include:

• Displaying the sequence and/or genes in a GenBank flat file.
• Highlighting differences and/or similarities in gene content between related organisms.
• Comparing SNPs and indels between closely-related strains or serovars.
• Comparing gene expression values across multiple samples or timepoints.
• Visualizing coverage plots of RNA-Seq read alignments.

Key Features

Circleator...

• Builds on BioPerl and the input file formats that it supports, including:
  • GenBank flat files, GFF, FASTA
• Accepts a number of other commonly-used datatypes and file formats:
  • BSR and TRF output, SAM/BAM files, VCF-encoded SNPs, tab-delimited files
• Outputs publication-ready figures in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format.
• Requires only a single configuration file whose layout mirrors that of the figure itself.
  • Predefined configuration files and "track" types are supplied for common datasets.
  • Advanced features allow limited analyses to be performed as a figure is drawn.
• Includes an extensive set of regression tests.
• Offers a prototype web-based GUI (under the "Ringmaster" project.)

About 8,000 years ago, the gene EGLN1 changed by a single DNA base pair. Today, a relatively short time later on the scale of human history, 88 percent of Tibetans have the genetic variation, and it was virtually absent from closely related lowland Asians. The findings indicate the genetic variation endows its carriers with an advantage.

In those without the adaptation, low oxygen caused their blood to become thick with oxygen-carrying red blood cells, an attempt to feed starved tissues, which could cause long-term complications such as heart failure. The researchers found that the newly identified genetic variation protected Tibetans by decreasing the over-response to low oxygen.
