Analysis of Stop Codons within Prokaryotic Protein-Coding Genes Suggests Frequent Readthrough Events

Nonsense mutations turn a coding (sense) codon into an in-frame stop codon that is assumed to result in a truncated protein product. Thus, nonsense substitutions are the hallmark of pseudogenes and are used to identify them. Here we show that in-frame stop codons within bacterial protein-coding gene...
