Does the reverse transcription occur in the host cytoplasm or in the virus? I want to clear up difference beetween viral insertion into host and viral DNA insertion into host DNA -rmhermen

Does the reverse transcription occur in the host cytoplasm or in the virus? I want to clear up difference beetween viral insertion into host and viral DNA insertion into host DNA -rmhermen The reverse transcription occurs in the host's cytoplasm. The virus is just a highly packed storage form. BTW, I think it is "reverse transcriptase", not "retrotranscriptase". --Magnus Manske
