An RNA virus (a virus composed
not of DNA
but of RNA). Retroviruses have an enzyme called reverse transcriptase
that gives them the
unique property of transcribing RNA (their RNA) into DNA. The
retroviral DNA can then
integrate into the chromosomal DNA of the host cell to be expressed
there. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the cause of AIDS, is
a retrovirus.
