Bi-directional ribosome scanning controls the stringency of start codon selection

Start codon selection is commonly thought to occur through the unidirectional scanning of the mRNA by the 40 S ribosome. Here the authors provide evidence that the pre-initiation complex can backslide on the mRNA to initiate translation at upstream AUG codons.
