| reverse transcription |
after infection, RNA with the master blueprint of retroviruses can use the machinery of the cell it infects to 'reverse photocopy' itself into the DNA; the transcription goes in a direction which is the reverse (RNA-->DNA) of what normally occurs (DNA-->RNA); the enzyme which catalyzes the RNA-->DNA reaction is referred to as reverse transcriptase ; once the retrovirus encodes its genetic information into the DNA of the cell, it can, on rare occasions, use the normal photocopy process of the ...
