      Can a virus hi-jack this system to get the cell to do reverse transcription?
  • because it, unlike other mobile elements in humans, encodes its own machinery for spreading copies of itself far and wide in the cellular genome.
  • it first transcribes itself into single-stranded RNA, which then travels from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for constructing proteins specified by some parts of the L1 DNA
