RSMViewer: A PyMOL plugin for RNA structural motif visualization.

RSMViewer is an open-source PyMOL 2.x plugin that enables batch visualization and efficient structural superimposition of RNA structural motif instances, reducing manual inspection effort.

• Why it matters: RNA structural motifs require labor-intensive manual inspection for identification, validation, and functional characterization, and existing visualization tools do not support motif-centered exploration well.
• What they did: The plugin, implemented in Python, integrates heterogeneous motif annotations and provides batch visualization plus structural superimposition workflows for RNA motif instances.
• The result: By streamlining motif exploration and comparative analysis, RSMViewer substantially reduces manual effort and supports downstream structural and functional interpretation.
