Extended stop codon context predicts nonsense codon readthrough efficiency in human cells

Abstract Protein synthesis terminates when a stop codon enters the ribosome’s A-site. Although termination is efficient, stop codon readthrough can occur when a near-cognate tRNA outcompetes release factors during decoding. Seeking to understand readthrough regulation we used a machine learning appr...
