Abstract excerpt
Errors in protein translation can lead to non-genetic, phenotypic mutations, including amino acid misincorporations. While phenotypic mutations can increase protein diversity, the systematic characterization of their proteome-wide frequencies and their evolutionary impact has been lacking. Here, we developed a mechanistic model of translation errors to investigate how selection acts on protein populations...
