Abstract
In the endogenous reaction of a melittin-disrupted avian retrovirus, SE21Qlb, there is significant reverse transcription of a cellular RNA, the 7S L RNA. Many of the characteristics of this synthesis are analogous to the process by which a retrovirus genome is reverse transcribed and subsequently integrated into the host genome. These findings of reverse transcription of a cellular RNA are thus of potential relevance to an understanding of processed genes and certain pseudogenes.
