A wide variety of different genetic elements and DNA sequences have used reverse transcription in their replication or transposition. Some of these elements may be evolutionarily related and show a continued evolution to autonomy from the cell genome. The evolution of a cancer reflects a similar drive for autonomy from the organism.
各种各样不同的遗传元件和DNA序列在其复制或转座过程中都利用了逆转录。其中一些元件可能在进化上相关,并显示出从细胞基因组中持续进化以实现自主性的趋势。癌症的进化反映了一种类似的从生物体中实现自主性的驱动力。
