Term Name:	viral translational frameshifting
Synonyms:	ribosomal frameshifting involved in viral translation
Definition:	A process which occurs during viral translation, which involves a translational recoding mechanism called programmed ribosomal frameshifting. This causes the ribosome to alter its reading of the mRNA to an a different open reading frame to produce alternate viral proteins.
