Abstract
Micro and nanotechnologies have originally contributed to engineering, especially in electronics. These technologies enable fabrication and assembly of materials at micrometer and nanometer scales and the manipulation of nano-objects. The power of these technologies has now been exploited in analyzes of biologically relevant molecules. In this review, the use of micro and nanotechnological tools in RNA research is described.
► The use of micro and nanotechnological tools in RNA research is reviewed. ► The utilization of microfluidics enables high-throughput studies of RNA. ► Nanotechnological tools assist study of RNA structure and function at single-molecule level.
