Fig. 4: Programmable delivery of message plasmids to arbitrary subsets of a multi-strain population.

a Schematic representation of the intended recipient list for each of the eight message plasmids. Dark squares indicate an invalid transfer, and light squares indicate a valid transfer. b The observed geometric mean of the transfer rates to each receiver type, calculated from three biological replicates measured on different days. The color map is scaled logarithmically over four orders of magnitude. Individual transfer rate values are shown in Supplementary Fig. 3. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
