Release notes

Interactive Web App Gallery is now live

The Interactive Web Apps page is now available on the CGC. The new page contains all R Shiny apps that we publish and makes them more prominent and accessible in the CGC interface.

Interactive Web Apps are available under Public Apps > Interactive Web Apps on the top navigation bar. With this update, the Public Apps menu item on the CGC has changed from a tab to a dropdown menu which now contains the Workflows and Tools page, where the previous Public Apps page content is located.

OmicCircos plot generation app now available on the CGC

OmicCircos is now available as a custom interactive app on the CGC. The OmicCircos app is an R Shiny application created around the OmicCircos R package for more effective generation of high-quality circular plots for visualizing omics data. Its integration with the Cancer Genomics Cloud (CGC) makes it easy to launch the app from inside the CGC and visualize data that is already present in any of your CGC projects.

The OmicCircos R package that the interactive CGC app is based on was developed by Ying Hu, Chunhua Yan and Xiapeng Bian as a part of Daoud Meerzaman's Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics group at CBIIT/NCI, and it can also be installed via Bioconductor. The data can be gene or chromosome position-based values from mutation, copy number, expression, and methylation analyses.
