    Glossary Retrovirus

    virus that integrates its RNA into host DNA

    A retrovirus is a type of virus that inserts a copy of its RNA genome into the DNA of a host cell it infects. This process is facilitated by an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which converts the viral RNA into DNA. Retroviruses are known for their role in diseases such as HIV/AIDS.
