Ribosomal frameshifting and transcriptional slippage: From genetic steganography and cryptography to adventitious use
Genetic decoding is not 'frozen'as was earlier thought, but dynamic. One facet of this is
frameshifting that often results in synthesis of a C-terminal region encoded by a new frame …
