The central dogma of molecular biology states that DNA is transcribed into RNA, and RNA is translated into protein. However, a retrovirus like HIV has RNA as its genetic material and uses an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to make a DNA copy of its RNA genome, which is then integrated into host cell's genome. This process of reverse transcription is the opposite of the central dogma, where RNA is copied into DNA.
