Abstract Circos plots enable scientists to easily inspect big biological data genome‐widely on a macroscopic scale, but cumbersome preparation of input and complex parameter configuration limits its application. We have developed the “Advanced Circos” function in TBtools, provide simple way construct plots. As an out‐of‐the‐box combo toolkit, TBtools has integrated set functions convenient for preparation. The is supplied with user‐friendly interface customization settings can be deployed visualize all kinds genomic data, such as associations, alignment gene density, QTL locations. In present article, we introduce main features “Advance protocols upstream preparation, aiming endow more users ability use exploration.
