**ChimerDB** in [computational biology](/source/Computational_biology) is a database of [fusion sequences](/source/Conjoined_gene).[1]

ChimerDB currently consists of three searchable datasets.[2]

- [ChimerKB](http://203.255.191.229:8080/chimerdbv31/mchimerkb.cdb) is a curated knowledge base of 1,066 fusion genes sourced from publicly available scientific literature.
- [ChimerPub](http://203.255.191.229:8080/chimerdbv31/mchimerpub.cdb) provides continuously updated descriptions on fusion genes [text mined](/source/Text_mining) from publications.
- [ChimerSeq](http://203.255.191.229:8080/chimerdbv31/mchimerseq.cdb) is a database of [RNA-seq](/source/RNA-Seq) data of fusion sequences downloaded from the [TCGA data portal](https://web.archive.org/web/20160716135858/https://tcga-data.nci.nih.gov/docs/publications/tcga/).
