	"Gene Fusion" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus, 
	MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure, 
	which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
 
	
	
		
			
			
				The GENETIC RECOMBINATION of the parts of two or more GENES resulting in a gene with different or additional regulatory regions, or a new chimeric gene product. ONCOGENE FUSION includes an ONCOGENE as at least one of the fusion partners and such gene fusions are often detected in neoplastic cells and are transcribed into ONCOGENE FUSION PROTEINS. ARTIFICIAL GENE FUSION is carried out in vitro by RECOMBINANT DNA technology.
