RNA secondary (2D) structure visualisation is an essential tool for understanding RNA function. R2DT is a software package designed to visualise RNA 2D structures in consistent, recognisable, and reproducible layouts. The latest release, R2DT 2.0, introduces multiple significant features, including the ability to display position-specific information, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or SHAPE reactivities. It also offers a new template-free mode allowing visualisation of RNAs without pre-existing templates, alongside a constrained folding mode and support for animated visualisations. Users can interactively modify R2DT diagrams, either manually or using natural language prompts, to generate new templates or create publication-quality images. Additionally, R2DT features faster performance, an expanded template library, and a growing collection of compatible tools and utilities. Already integrated into multiple biological databases, R2DT has evolved into a comprehensive platform for RNA 2D visualisation, accessible at https://r2dt.bio.
RNA二级（二维）结构可视化是理解RNA功能的重要工具。R2DT是一个软件包，旨在以一致、可识别和可重复的布局可视化RNA二维结构。最新版本R2DT 2.0引入了多个重要功能，包括显示位置特异性信息的能力，如单核苷酸多态性（SNP）或SHAPE反应性。它还提供了一种新的无模板模式，允许在没有预先存在模板的情况下可视化RNA，同时还有一种受限折叠模式并支持动画可视化。用户可以手动或使用自然语言提示交互式修改R2DT图，以生成新模板或创建具有发表质量的图像。此外，R2DT具有更快的性能、扩展的模板库以及越来越多的兼容工具和实用程序。R2DT已集成到多个生物数据库中，已发展成为一个用于RNA二维可视化的综合平台，可通过https://r2dt.bio访问。
