	Natural transformation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Natural transformations are, after categories and functors, one of the most basic notions of categorical algebra and consequently appear in the majority of its applications.
		Natural transformations arise frequently in conjunction with adjoint functors.
		The natural transformations from a representable functor to an arbitrary functor F : C → Set are completely known and easy to describe; this is the content of the Yoneda lemma.

		These maps are "natural" in the sense: the double dual operation is a and the maps form a natural transformation the identity functor to the double dual
		This composition of natural transformation is associative and allows to consider the collection all functors C → D itself as a category (see below Functor categories).

		To elucidate the biological significance of dead bacterial cells in soil to the intra- and interspecies transfer of gene fragments by natural transformation, we have exposed the kanamycin-sensitive recipient Acinetobacter sp.
		Transformation efficiencies obtained in vitro and in situ with the various lysates were similar to or exceeded those obtained with conventionally purified DNA.
		The relatively short-term biological activity (e.g., transforming activity) of chromosomal DNA in soil contrasts the earlier reported long-term physical stability of DNA, where fractions have been found to persist for several weeks in soil.

	Bacterial Transformation
		Natural transformation is distinct from artificial transformation by techniques such as electroporation, protoplast formation, and microprojectiles.
		The process of transformation in both gram negative and gram positive bacteria is broadly similar.
		It is not known if transformation is a natural phenomenon in all bacteria -- it may be widespread in nature but it can be difficult to observe in the laboratory.

		Natural transformations for which the naturality square is a pullback are commonly called cartesian: it's not an ideal name for them, but it's quite well established.

	natural transformation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Natural transformation [*] looks pretty mach as "intertwining" operator as in group theory, but not quite the same.
		Is there any nice theorem analogue to the one in the representation theory: If A and B are two irreducible representations of G over V1 and V2 then any linear "intertwining" operator T:V1->V2 such that B T = T A must be proportional to the identity map.
		Then a natural transformation from a functor F:C1->C2 to the functor G:C1->C2 is a map T:Obj(C1)->Hom(C2) such that for ant f in Hom(C1) and any 'a' in in Obj(C1) we have commuting diagram (T(b)F(f)=G(f)T(a)): T(a) F(a)---------->G(a)

	Natural transformation in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus
		Some bacterial strains are naturally capable of taking up DNA from the environment.
		Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain BD4 and its derivatives express these genes constitutively, allowing transformation to be carried out by mixing chromosomal DNA with bacterial cells directly on a plate.
		Because the segments of DNA that are taken up during natural transformation are fairly short, this is a good technique for mapping the distance between mutations in the same operon.
