You may think that all of your cells contain the same genetic sequence, with half of your DNA coming from your mom and half coming from your dad, but that is not always true. This CTOR short will introduce you to chimeras, hybrid creatures with more that one genome, that can be man-made or naturally occurring.
Check out the CTOR interview with Dr. Rich Schneider who uses chimeras as a research tool.
CTOR also has a blog post about chimeras and genetic mosaics.
