Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to methods and compositions for transferring a genetic circuit from one prokaryotic cell (“donor cell”) to another prokaryotic cell (“recipient cell” or “target cell” which are used interchangeably herein). More specifically, the present disclosure relates to prokaryotic donor cells comprising (i) a genetic circuit of interest and (ii) one or more expressed transcriptional repressor proteins and the use of said donor cells in the efficient transfer of the genetic circuit into a prokaryotic recipient cell. The genetic circuit includes nucleic acid sequences encoding a RNA molecule or protein of interest.
