Abstract
Programmed non-standard translation elongation events, frameshifting, hopping and read-through, are important in the decoding of a minority of mRNAs from diverse sources. In this chapter we provide an overview of some of the approaches we are taking to investigate this “recoding” (Gesteland et al., 1992). Also included is an overview of some current studies on mutants which cause frameshifting and read-through, at sites where it does not normally occur i.e., non-programmed events.
