| 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.

| reverse osmosis |
RO, A treatment technology used to remove inorganic contaminants, where water with a low level of total dissolved solids passes through a semipermeable membrane into a solution containing a higher level of total dissolved solids; pump pressure is applied to the concentrated solution causing it to flow back across the membrane.
