Chimeric genes form through the combination of portions of one or more Gene coding sequences to produce new genes. These mutation s are distinct from Fusion protein fusion genes which merge whole gene sequences into a single reading frame and often retain their original functions.

Orphan date February 2009 Chimeric nucleases are an example of Protein engineering engineered proteins which must comprise a DNA binding domain to give sequence specificity and a nuclease domain for DNA cleavage. DNA binding domains details DNA binding domain DNA binding domains including the basic helix loop helix , zinc finger , helix turn helix and leucine zipper motifs have been used in construction of sequence specific nucleases. Of these, zinc fingers have been suggested the most important due to their modularity, allowing construction of a tailor made DNA binding domain. ref name durai2005 cite journal author Durai S, Mani M, Kandavelou K, Wu J, Porteus MH, Chandrasegaran S title Zinc finger nucleases custom designed molecular scissors for genome engineering of plant and mammalian cells journal Nucleic Acids Res. volume 33 issue 18 pages 5978 90 year 2005 pmid 16251401 doi 10.1093 nar gki912 url http nar.oxfordjournals.org cgi pmidlookup?view long&pmid 16251401 pmc 1270952 ref Nuclease domain details Nuclease The nuclease domain is responsible for physical cleavage of DNA strands and may introduce either single stranded or double stranded breaks.
