In retroviruses, there is a stop codon at the end of the reading frame for the first gene
However, in about 5% of the proteins, the stop codon is bypassed, resulting in translation of the second gene and synthesis of a fused protein representing both genes 1 and 2. How is the stop codon bypassed if the reading frames of the first and second genes are different? What will be an ideal response?
