Long-read RNA sequencing has expanded our understanding of the transcriptome, revealing unannotated transcripts. However, interpreting their functional relevance remains challenging. To address this, we developed TX2P, a user-friendly tool that integrates transcriptomic and proteomic data to link RNA discoveries with protein function. Applied to epilepsy-associated genes, TX2P identified novel protein-coding transcripts, with peptide evidence supporting 17.2% transcripts and 18.0% of unique open reading frames. By seamlessly integrating transcriptomic and proteomic insights, TX2P facilitates transcriptome interpretation.
