Reverse transcription

… In the case of RNA viruses, which have RNA as their genetic material, mRNA is synthesized using RNA as a template, a process also called transcription. In retroviruses, a reaction is known in which DNA is synthesized using RNA as a template, a reaction called reverse transcription, catalyzed by RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (also called reverse transcriptase).
[Translation of genetic information]
The genetic information transcribed as the base sequence of mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids on the ribosome; this process is called translation.

*Some of the terminology used in relation to “reverse transcription” is listed below.
