Definitions of chimera

Aren’t there more definitions of chimera than the one presented here?CycoMa (talk) 13:43, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Self reporting chimerism

I seem to exhibit visible chimerism, (hair is blonde and brown patches down one half of my body, Finnish epicanthic fold on one eye and not on the other). Given the amount of cases actually studied, I'd like to volunteer to contribute to any research being done. I'm also left handed and transgender (bi gender) and I'm curious if there's any links.

However, I'm having trouble finding any contacts to follow through on this. Does anyone know of any active researchers related to chimerism I could connect with? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ironlily26fe (talk • contribs) 16:05, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Single-zygote chimeras occur not only in plants, but also in animals, correct?

The introduction contains this sentence: "In plant chimeras, however, the distinct types of tissue may originate from the same zygote, and the difference is often due to mutation during ordinary cell division." But isn't it true that this situation also occurs in animals? In fact, this exact situation is described in the first paragraph of the "Animals" section: "If the different cells have emerged from the same zygote, the organism is called a mosaic."

Weird rant about US bill?

The "ethics and legislation" section seems like an irrelevant digression. No references back to experiments or developments that would make such a bill necessary.

This doesn't belong in an encyclopedic entry on genetic chimeras. More likely it could be included in a list of bizarre us legislation attempts, or in the entry for that specific politician.
