A Circos plot showing the landscape of somatic genome alterations (SGA) events and candidate cancer driver genes along the chromosomes
Cai et al present genes that are aligned according to their chromosome locations in the most inner track, with chromosome number indicated. Different types of SGA events are shown in tracks: copy number deletion (blue), copy number amplification (orange), mutation (green). The outmost track (red) shows the number of tumors in which an SGA is deemed as a candidate driver.
