Reticular information. A system of cells in the medulla oblongata of many humanoid brains.

Retroviral vaccines. Attentuated retroviral compounds, used for preventative inoculation.

Retrovirus. Member of a family of virus ,Retroviridae, which reproduce by using a host cell to reproduce DNA, rather than the RNA which most viruses produce.

Ribocyatic flux. Condition where an organism's DNA is being actively rewritten.
