Chimeric genes are genes that are made of parts from different sources.
How are they produced?[edit]
These genes are formed through the combination of portions of two or more coding sequences to produce new genes, called mutations.
Chimeric RNAs[edit]
Chimeric RNAs comprise exons from two or more different genes and have the potential to encode novel proteins that alter cellular phenotypes.
Different from fusion genes[edit]
These mutations are distinct from fusion genes which merge whole sequences into a single reading frame and often retain their original functions.
