Exploring Retroviruses: Nature’s Intriguing Genetic Hackers

Introduction: Retroviruses constitute a unique family of RNA viruses known for their ability to reverse transcribe their RNA genome into DNA, which then integrates into the host cell’s genome. This distinctive feature distinguishes them from other viruses and has significant implications for their replication cycle, pathogenesis, and potential therapeutic applications. Discovered in the mid-20th century,…
