9. The population of claim 1 , wherein the at least one heterologous DNA template encodes a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR).
10. The population of claim 1 , wherein the one or more primary human immune cells do not comprise a viral vector.
11. An isolated population of primary human immune cells, wherein at least 10% of the primary human immune cells in the population comprise at least one heterologous DNA template in a target region of the genome, wherein the size of the DNA template is greater than or equal to 300 base pairs, and wherein the primary human immune cells do not comprise a viral vector for introducing the at least one heterologous DNA template into the primary human immune cells.
12. The population of claim 11 , wherein the size of the at least one heterologous DNA template is greater than or equal to 1 kilobase (kb).
