Summary:

In the past few decades there has been incredible growth in ""bionano""-related research, which has been accompanied by numerous publications in this field. Although various compilations address topics related to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein, there are few books that focus on determining the structure of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and using RNA as building blocks to construct nanoarchitectures for biomedical and healthcare applications.RNA Nanotechnology is a comprehensive volume that details both the traditional approaches and the latest developments i
