  2. Chimera (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics)

    A genetic chimerism or chimera (/ k aɪ ˈ m ɪər ə / ky-MEER-ə or / k ɪ ˈ m ɪər ə / kim-EER-ə) is a single organism composed of cells with more than one distinct genotype. Animal chimeras can be produced by the fusion of two (or more) embryos .

  3. Human chimera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_chimera

    A human chimera is a human with a subset of cells with a distinct genotype than other cells, that is, having genetic chimerism.In contrast, an individual where each cell contains genetic material from a human and an animal is called a human–animal hybrid, while an organism that contains a mixture of human and non-human cells would be a human-animal chimera.

  4. Chimera (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(molecular_biology)

    In molecular biology, and more importantly high-throughput DNA sequencing, a chimera is a single DNA sequence originating when multiple transcripts or DNA sequences get joined. Chimeras can be considered artifacts and be filtered out from the data during processing [ 1 ] to prevent spurious inferences of biological variation. [ 2 ]

  5. Chimeric gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimeric_gene

    Chimeric genes are important players in the evolution of genetic novelty. Much like gene duplications, they provide a source of new genes, which can allow organisms to develop new phenotypes and adapt to their environment. Unlike duplicate genes, chimeric proteins are immediately distinct from their parental genes, and therefore are more likely ...

  6. Chimera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera

    Chimera (genetics), a single organism with cells from two different zygotes; Chimera (virus), with genetic material from other organisms; Chimeric protein or fusion protein; Chimera (paleontology), a fossil made with parts from different animals; Chimera Project, a Soviet biological weapons program

  7. 'Patchwork' Maine Coon Cat Is Actually a Rare Genetic Chimera

    This gene is recessive and unrelated to sex, and it appears that the cat in this video has both a full color gene (orange) and a dilution gene (gray), which should not be possible, unless he’s a ...

  8. Mosaic (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_(genetics)

    Mosaicism or genetic mosaicism is a condition in which a multicellular organism possesses more than one genetic line as the result of genetic mutation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This means that various genetic lines resulted from a single fertilized egg .

  9. Fusion protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_protein

    The fusion of fluorescent tags to proteins in a host cell is a widely popular technique used in experimental cell and biology research in order to track protein interactions in real time. The first fluorescent tag, green fluorescent protein (GFP), was isolated from Aequorea victoria and is still used frequently in modern research.
