In a different context, the deliberate creation of artificial chimeras can also be a useful tool in molecular biology. For example, in protein engineering , "chimeragenesis" (forming chimeras between proteins that are encoded by homologous cDNAs ) [ 4 ] is one of the "two major techniques used to manipulate cDNA sequences".
