Retrovirusby ~Velica

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Cartoons / Drawings

Now thats what I call a retroinfection!!! Shazam!

Again, a biology joke. Sorry if its too specific.
Retrovirus (like HIV) are interesting in many ways. One of them is they break the "CENTRAL DOGMA OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY" [link] by converting RNA into DNA (hence the prefix Retro-)

I'm imagining this virus swiming in someone's fluids at the sound of Blue Monday by New Order.

Hi Velica,
Would you mind if I used this in a presentation as well?
Thanks,

Hi Velica, I am a medical student presenting on HTLV, a retrovirus, would you mind if I used your image? It's really cool!

~Velica Sep 19, 2012

Not a problem! Good luck.

I see what you did there

Retroviruses are my favorite. They do it THEIR way! Don't like your DNA the way it is? Want it to change? Call a retrovirus!

Seriously though, great play on words. I love it.
