Rapid protein sequence evolution via compensatory frameshift is widespread in RNA virus genomes
Background: RNA viruses possess remarkable evolutionary versatility driven by the high mutability of their genomes. Frameshifting nucleotide insertions or deletions (indels), which cause the premature termination of proteins, are frequently observed in the coding sequences of various viral genomes....
