In this paper we present a novel method to induce gene transfer in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) using a low-energy ion beam. By accelerating nitrogen ions to the 50-60 keV energy range with ions fluences of 1-100 × 1015 ions/cm2, yeast cells were bombarded to characterize the decrease in surviva...
