I would appreciate a response to the following:

(a) does the retrovirus insert itself at a specific location within the
genome or is it randomly recombined?

(b) as the DNA sequence of the virus is known why is it that we cannot
synthesize an enzyme that will "look" for that particular sequence and then
excise it from the genome?

Thanking you in advance.
