A type of virus that stores its genetic information in a single-
stranded RNA molecule, then constructs a double-stranded
DNA version of its genes using a special enzyme called
reverse transcriptase. (source: AIDSinfo)
any of a group of viruses that contain two single-strand linear RNA molecules per virion and reverse transcriptase (RNA to DNA)
any of a group of viruses that contain two single-strand linear RNA molecules per virion and reverse transcriptase (RNA to DNA); the virus transcribes its RNA into a cDNA provirus that is then incorporated into the host cell
