Horizontal gene transfer in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other Saccharomycotina yeasts: a review
How HGT has significantly shaped the genome evolution of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is highlighted, providing key traits relevant to fermentation processes and how detecting HGT events helps to understand yeast genome plasticity and to identify useful “foreign” DNA, which can be manipulated to create novel yeast strains with enhanced fermentation performance, flavour profiles, or stress tolerance.
