Simple circos code
According to the tutorials (http://circos.ca/documentation/tutorials/), to draw a graph using circos, at least three files needed.
Download the software and install: http://circos.ca/software/download/
running code: /PATH/circos/bin/circos -conf z1.conf
Files preparation:
# 1. genome file#
# can be in one file or one species one file. Following is the format.
