Abstract excerpt
Interspecific genetic exchanges caused by natural hybridization or horizontal gene transfer can lead to enhanced phenotypes, which are often of interest for industrial applications and evolutionary research. However, transferring genetic materials between distantly related species, such as intergeneric yeasts, presents technical challenges. In this study, we establish a method to transfer individual chromosomes...
