Usually, circular-map-drawing tools use their built-in algorithms to draw a circular map. The input to the software is genomic data files, and the output is circular maps. The kinds of drawing are restrained by the algorithms that they implement.
AWC is designed to accept numeric data that users have prepared, possibly by using their own algorithms.
In addition, AWC produces numeric data to draw:
(1) blastn results,
(2) GC content,
(3) GC-skew values,
(4) dinucleotide bias difference values,
(5) the density of given DNA sequence motifs.
