Non-circular plots of whole genomes are natural representations of genomic data aligned along all chromosomes. Currently, there is no specialized graphical user interface (GUI) designed to produce non-circular whole genome diagrams, and the use of existing tools requires considerable coding effort from users. Moreover, such tools also require improvement, including the addition of new functionalities. To address these issues, we developed a new R/Shiny application, named shinyChromosome, as a GUI for the interactive creation of non-circular whole genome diagrams. shinyChromosome can be easily installed on personal computers for own use as well as on local or public servers for community use. Publication-quality images can be readily generated and annotated from user input using diverse widgets. shinyChromosome is deployed at http://150.109.59.144:3838/shinyChromosome/, http://shinyChromosome.ncpgr.cn, and https://yimingyu.shinyapps.io/shinyChromosome for online use. The source code and manual of shinyChromosome are freely available at https://github.com/venyao/shinyChromosome.

ShinyChromosome：交互式创建整个基因组非圆形图的R / Shiny应用程序。

整个基因组的非圆形图是沿所有染色体排列的基因组数据的自然表示。当前，没有专门的图形用户界面（GUI）设计用于生成非圆形的完整基因组图，并且使用现有工具需要用户进行大量编码工作。此外，此类工具也需要改进，包括添加新功能。为了解决这些问题，我们开发了一个新的R / Shiny应用程序，名为ShinyChromosome，作为用于交互式创建非圆形全基因组图的GUI。ShinyChromosome可以轻松安装在个人计算机上以供自己使用，也可以安装在本地或公共服务器上以供社区使用。可以使用各种窗口小部件轻松地从用户输入生成出版物质量的图像并对其进行批注。ShinyChromosome部署在http://150.109.59.144：3838 / shinyChromosome /，http：//shinyChromosome.ncpgr.cn和https://yimingyu.shinyapps.io/shinyChromosome可供在线使用。ShinyChromosome的源代码和手册可在https://github.com/venyao/shinyChromosome上免费获得。
