1. A method of expressing an exogenous human therapeutic polypeptide from a genomically integrated DNA sequence of a target human cell, the method comprising:
(a) contacting a composition to a population of human cells comprising the target human cell, the composition comprising one or more RNA molecules comprising a first RNA sequence and a second RNA sequence, wherein the ratio of the first RNA sequence to the second RNA sequence in the composition is at least 2:1, wherein the target human cell uptakes the one or more RNA molecules, and wherein:
(i) the first RNA sequence comprises a sequence that encodes a human ORF1p polypeptide, and
(ii) the second RNA sequence comprises (A) a sequence that encodes a human ORF2p polypeptide and (B) a sequence that is a reverse complement of a sequence encoding the exogenous human therapeutic polypeptide;
(b) translating the sequence of the first RNA sequence encoding the that encodes a human ORF1p polypeptide, thereby producing the human ORF1p polypeptide; and translating the sequence of the second RNA sequence encoding the human ORF2p polypeptide, thereby producing the human ORF2p polypeptide;
(c) reverse transcribing the sequence of (a)(ii)(B) via target-primed reverse transcription (TPRT) activity of the human ORF2p polypeptide translated in step (b), thereby producing a DNA sequence encoding the exogenous human therapeutic polypeptide;
(d) integrating the DNA sequence encoding the exogenous human therapeutic polypeptide produced in step (c) into genomic DNA of the target human cell; and
(e) expressing the exogenous human therapeutic polypeptide in the target human cell, wherein the exogenous human therapeutic polypeptide is expressed from the DNA sequence integrated into the genomic DNA of the target human cell in step (d).
