Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of transforming cells in which an appropriate quantity of nucleic acid fragments is introduced into the cells. The nucleic acid fragments are introduced in the form of a nucleic acid composition comprising a nitrogen-containing silicone, useful for compacting the nucleic acid fragments; the compositions comprise aggregates of nucleic acid fragments and silicones according to the invention.
