Ribosome profiling reveals pervasive and regulated stop codon readthrough in Drosophila melanogaster
Ribosomes can read through stop codons in a regulated manner, elongating rather than terminating the nascent peptide. Stop codon readthrough is essential to diverse viruses, and phylogenetically predicted to occur in a few hundred genes in Drosophila melanogaster, but the importance of regulated rea...
