Editing Framing error

'''Framing error''' can refer to the following:
*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 [[Frame (networking)|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 bit]]s.
* In [[genetics]], a '''[[frameshift mutation|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'''.
