Evolutionary origin of the frameshift sites in the ribosomal frameshifting genes of Euplotes
We provide an overview of the evolutionary origin of frameshift sites in Euplotes. Our results suggest that the widespread ribosomal frameshifting in Euplotes may be a result of long-term accumulation of indel mutation. And preservation of these indel mutations in the genome of Euplotes apparently need to meet some constraints.
