Aberrant decoding is a term often used in the context of genetics and molecular biology, particularly when discussing the process of protein translation. It refers to a situation where the decoding of messenger RNA (mRNA) during translation leads to the production of proteins that deviate from the expected outcomes based on the genetic code. This can occur due to various factors, such as mutations in the mRNA, errors in ribosomal function, or atypical interactions with transfer RNA (tRNA).
