Revtraviricetes is a class of viruses that contains all viruses that encode a reverse transcriptase. [1] The group includes all ssRNA-RT viruses (including the retroviruses) and dsDNA-RT viruses. It is the sole class in the phylum Artverviricota, which is the sole phylum in the kingdom Pararnavirae.
