title: Micro and nanotechnological tools for study of RNA.
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.
