Reverse Transcriptase
A class of enzymes that transcribes RNA into DNA in the reverse of the usual direction. These enzymes play a central role in viral replication, particularly in retroviruses such as HIV, and in genome evolution.

The system identified by Claude is based on reverse transcriptase (RT).
Reverse transcriptase is a class of enzymes that can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template, which is the reverse direction of transcription from DNA to RNA.
Reverse transcriptase is a type of enzyme that reverse-transcribes RNA sequences into DNA, first discovered in retroviruses such as HIV.
