for cloning--converts an RNA template to its DNA counterpart with a reverse transcriptase enzyme. The cDNA is then amplified by PCR. Although the technique appears relatively painless, researchers ...

The scientific reaction had already made news a ... The system involves a piece of RNA with unknown function and a reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that synthesizes DNA from an RNA template.

These drugs work by inhibiting the viral reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing the replication of the viral ... thereby suppressing the immune response. Polymerase Chain Reaction is a widely used ...
