What is Reverse Transcriptases ? | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the meaning of reverse transcriptases. There are some cancer causing RNA viruses such as the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) which produces cancer in chickens, avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) causing leukemia in birds, and the mammary cancer and leukemia viruses in rodents.
