Ball of 56 severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomes. Each of the genomes of 56 fully sequenced isolates of SARS-CoV-2 are drawn as a path. The length of the path is proportional to the size of the genome. Every fifth base is drawn as a circle whose color is based on the GC content (fraction of guanines and cytosines). The path curvature is proportional to the repeat content and the direction of curvature is determined by whether the GC content is lower or higher than average. Genomes paths are centered and layering order of is determined individually for each base by the difference between local GC content and the average value of 0.38.

As a scientist, it is my responsibility not only to present work clearly, but to connect broadly by sparking imagination and enthusiasm for inquiry and understanding. To do this, science communication must engage both cognitively and emotionally. I try to make people think and feel good by creating visualization tools and information graphics that combine analytical clarity with an artistic dimension. During my work on cancer genomes, I created Circos, now a community standard for displaying information in this field. More recently, I introduced a method for rationally visualizing networks using hive plots. My information graphics have appeared in the New York Times, Wired, Scientific American and on covers of books and...
