R2DT automatically generates RNA secondary structure diagrams in consistent, reproducible and recongnisable layouts using a library of templates representing a wide range of RNAs.
Examples
The following example visualisations show LSU, SSU, and 5S rRNA, four tRNAs, two RNAse P, snoRNA, MoCo riboswitch, and U4 snRNA:

Getting started
R2DT can be used in multiple ways:
- Web application at r2dt.bio or in RNAcentral
- API powered by EMBL-EBI Web Services
- As a command line tool with Docker, Singularity, or in a bare metal installation
