Genomics
Reverse transcription is the process by which RNA is converted back into DNA, typically catalyzed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. This mechanism is crucial in retroviruses, where the viral RNA genome must be reverse transcribed into DNA to integrate into the host's genome, illustrating a key aspect of genetic information flow that deviates from the traditional central dogma of molecular biology.
