One of the key components of synthetic biology is the creation of novel strains with unique properties that can be used for various applications such as biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture. Strain hybridization is an essential technique in synthetic biology that involves the combination of genetic material from different strains to create a new hybrid strain with desired traits.
