- retrovirus (n.)
 
- 1977, earlier retravirus (1974), from re(verse) tra(nscriptase) + virus. So called because it contains reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that uses RNA instead of DNA to encode genetic information, which reverses the usual pattern. Remodeled by influence of retro- "backwards."

  - 你认为我们的逆转录酶病毒可以办到?
   
- 2. If so, the result is known as an endogenous retrovirus. 
  - 如果是这样, 则这种病毒就是内源性逆转录病毒.
   
- 3. Gene trap elements are also used in the construction of retrovirus vectors. 
  - 基因诱捕技术也被运用了反转录病毒载体的构建.
   
- 4. Retrovirus is one of the vectors in common use. 
  - 逆转录病毒是最为常用的载体之一.
