Please check[edit]
I created the article, but since my study of biology ended in high school, I'd really appreciate it if an expert doublechecked it. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Merge to Fusion protein?[edit]
Should this page merge to Fusion protein? D O N D E groovily Talk to me 01:58, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- This article is about cDNA (nucleic acid polymers) whereas fusion protein is about proteins (amino acid polymer). Also an EST corresponds to a small fragment of a gene whereas a fusion protein (and the corresponding genes from which it was derived) are typically a much larger. Hence I do not think it makes sense to merge these two articles. I have been bold and have taken down the merge banners. Boghog (talk) 04:51, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Should the title by Chimera (DNA), or something? EST seems way too jargony to be in an article title. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 12:16, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Change title?[edit]
I edited the information on this page so that it better includes all types of chimeras in molecular biology. I known them mostly as PCR artifact, so the text on transcript sourced chimeras should perhaps be checked by someone working more on the microbial stuff.
Additionally, I think the title should be changed from Chimera (EST) to Chimera (molecular biology) as already proposed some years ago. I just don't know how to do this - I'm not a very experienced editor.DdeJonge (talk) 15:22, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Just use the Move tab at the top of the article's page. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:11, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
Add some figures for better explanation?[edit]
I find this type of page really useful for learning concepts of fields that I was not familiar with. But it would be even clearer to beginners if certain figure demonstration is available.Jxs07 (talk) 00:07, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
