Non-ribbon Chord Diagram

Non-ribbon chord diagrams arrange nodes in a circle and connect them with simple lines instead of width-varying ribbons. This variant works well when connection strength is less important than the existence of connections, common in biological and social network analysis.

Circular network diagram showing gene interactions

Try this prompt

"Create a circular network diagram (non-ribbon chord diagram) showing 'Gene Interaction Network' for 15 genes involved in a biological pathway. Generate realistic gene interaction data: each gene (TP53, BRCA1, EGFR, MYC, KRAS, etc.) with 2-5 connections representing protein-protein interactions. Position genes in a circle using their pathway order. Draw straight lines between interacting genes. Line color by interaction type: activation (green), inhibition (red), binding (blue). Line thickness by confidence score (0.5-1.0). Node size by number of connections (degree). Label each gene node. Highlight hub genes (>4 connections) with a larger marker. Include a legend for interaction types."
