General form of a framing error is the result of starting to read a sequence of data at the wrong point.
In
serial communications, a framing error is the result of reading a
data frame – a string of symbols which are grouped in blocks – at the wrong starting point. The symbols are bits and the blocks are bytes, ten bits in asynchronous transmission and eight in synchronous. A framing error in an asynchronous stream usually recovers quickly, but a framing error in a synchronous stream produces gibberish at the end of the packet. Framing errors can be detected with
parity bits.
In
genetics, a framing error (also called a frameshift or a frameshift mutation) is a
mutation that inserts or deletes a single
nucleotide from a
DNA sequence. Due to the triplet nature of
gene expression, the insertion/deletion can disrupt the grouping of the codons, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.
In
psychology, the
framing effect (psychology) is an example of
cognitive bias in which people react to a particular choice in different ways depending on how it is presented. Cognitive errors as a result of this bias are commonly called framing errors.
