Descriptor provirus
Scope note: Secuencias dúplex de ADN en cromosomas eucariotes que corresponden al genoma de un virus, que se transmiten de una generación celular a la siguiente sin producir lisis del huésped. Los provirus se asocian a menudo con la transformación a células neoplásicas y son elementos fundamentales de la biología de los retrovirus.
