===Reverse transcription===
Reverse transcribing viruses replicate their genomes by [[Reverse transcription|reverse transcribing]] DNA copies from their RNA; these DNA copies are then transcribed to new RNA. [[Retrotransposon]]s also spread by copying DNA and RNA from one another,<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kalendar R, Vicient CM, Peleg O, Anamthawat-Jonsson K, Bolshoy A, Schulman AH | title = Large retrotransposon derivatives: abundant, conserved but nonautonomous retroelements of barley and related genomes | journal = Genetics | volume = 166 | issue = 3 | pages = 1437–50 | date = March 2004 | pmid = 15082561 | pmc = 1470764 | doi = 10.1534/genetics.166.3.1437 }}</ref> and [[telomerase]] contains an [[Telomerase RNA component|RNA that is used as template]] for building the ends of [[Eukaryotic chromosome structure|eukaryotic chromosomes]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Podlevsky JD, Bley CJ, Omana RV, Qi X, Chen JJ | title = The telomerase database | journal = Nucleic Acids Research | volume = 36 | issue = Database issue | pages = D339–43 | date = January 2008 | pmid = 18073191 | pmc = 2238860 | doi = 10.1093/nar/gkm700 }}</ref>
