Recent work has shown the existence of a genetic link between NMD and codon-usage mediated mRNA decay. Here we present computational evidence that these pathways are synergic for removing frameshifts %K Nonsense-mediated decay %K codon bias %K frameshifts %K mRNA quality %K translation %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6150615/
