RETROVIRAL ROOTS. “Life could not function without the key agents of DNA replication, namely mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. Not only rRNA, but also tRNA and the processing of the primary transcript into the pre-mRNA and the mature mRNA are clearly descended from retro-“elements” with obvious retroviral ancestry.” (mRNA = messenger RNA; tRNA = transfer RNA; rRNA = ribosomal RNA).
