The present invention includes methods for transferring a multigenic phenotype to a cell by transfecting, preferably by phototransfection, and locally transfecting a cell or a cellular process with a laser while the cell is bathed in a fluid medium comprising two or more nucleic acids, thereby introducing the nucleic acid into the interior of the cell. Expression of the nucleic acids results in a multigenic phenotype in the transfected cell.
