retroviral
RNA-to-DNA converting
Retroviral describes anything relating to retroviruses—a class of viruses that insert their genetic material into host cells by reverse-transcribing RNA into DNA.
HIV is the most widely known retrovirus.
The term appears in medical and scientific contexts: retroviral therapy, retroviral infection, retroviral vectors in gene therapy.
