'''[[Defense associated reverse transcriptase|Defense-associated reverse transcriptase (DRT) ribonucleoprotein complexes]]''' are a class of prokaryotic antiviral systems composed of [[reverse transcriptase]] enzymes and associated [[Non-coding RNA|non-coding RNAs]] (ncRNAs). These complexes function as part of [[Bacteria|bacterial]] and [[Archaea|archaeal]] defense mechanisms against [[bacteriophage]] infection and are characterized by their ability to synthesize nucleic acids{{Cite web |title=Science |url=https://www.science.org/action/cookieAbsent |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=AAAS |language=en |doi=10.1126/science.aba0372 |pmc=7985843 |pmid=32855333}}
