| reverse transcriptase |
enzyme responsible for the synthesis of DNA from genomic RNA of a virus like HIV. Reverse transcripase can be used in a technique to amplify RNA targets. The extracted RNA specimen is subjected to reverse transcription to make complementary DNA (cDNA), which is then, in turn, amplified by PCR.

| reverse transcription |
the synthesis of DNA from an RNA template, using the reverse transcriptase enzyme. In the lab, reverse transcription is used to make fluorescently labelled cDNA probes to study expression profiles of genes, eg in microarrays.
