El Diccionario crítico de dudas inglés-español de medicina de Fernando A. Navarro indica que el término en inglés «reverse» se debe traducir como inverso, invertido, opuesto o contrario, de acuerdo al contexto; [...] «reverse transcription» («transcripción inversa, retrotranscripción»). 4, record 1, Spanish, - transcripci%C3%B3n%20inversa
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
[El término] «transcripción reversa» se presta a confusión, puesto que «reverso» no es un adjetivo, sino un sustantivo que significa la parte opuesta al frente de una cosa («el reverso y el anverso de una moneda») o la antítesis de algo, aunque el DRAE [Diccionario de la Real Academia Española] también lo recoge con el significado de ‘marcha atrás’ o ‘retroceso’. No obstante, la idea de transcripción en dirección opuesta [...] queda perfectamente transmitida por el adjetivo «inverso» (pues se trata literalmente de una traducción en sentido inverso al habitual) o por el afijo «retro-» (hacia atrás). 5, record 1, Spanish, - transcripci%C3%B3n%20inversa
