Effective visualization of these isoforms and their expression patterns is crucial but challenging due to limitations in existing tools. Traditional genome browsers lack programmability, while other tools offer limited customization, produce static plots, or cannot simultaneously display structures and expression levels. RNApysoforms was developed to address these gaps by providing a Python-based package that enables concurrent visualization of RNA isoform structures and expression data. Leveraging plotly and polars libraries, it offers an interactive, customizable, and faster-rendering framework suitable for web applications, enhancing the analysis and dissemination of RNA isoform research.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    RNApysoforms is a Python package available at (\n                    <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/UK-SBCoA-EbbertLab\/RNApysoforms\">https:\/\/github.com\/UK-SBCoA-EbbertLab\/RNApysoforms<\/jats:ext-link>\n                    ) via an open-source MIT license.
