A retrovirus is a type of rna virus that inserts a copy of its genome into the dna of a host cell that it invades, thus changing the genome of that cell. Dominant mutations in protooncogenes contribute to deregulated cell growth. Once inside the host cells cytoplasm, the virus uses its own reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce dna from its rna genome, the reverse of the usual pattern, thus retro backwards.
