Homotopy of Natural Transformations [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1970 Let C be a full subcategory of T, the category of based topological spaces and based maps, and let Cn be the corresponding category of n-tuples. Let S, T: Tn → T be covariant functors which respect homotopy classes and let u, v: S → T be natural transformations, u and v are homotopic inC, denoted u ≃ v(C), if uX ≃ vX: SX → TX (X ∈ Cn), that is to say ...

Impact of chemicals and physical stressors on horizontal gene transfer via natural transformation
Nature Water, 2023 Contaminants in the environment can increase natural transformation rates in bacteria. However, the co-occurrence of a large suite of contaminants may result in final transformation rates that are not based on the geometric addition of individual ...
