The topological analysis strategy proceeds by identifying a chemotaxis network known if the mechanistic details of E.coli's chemotaxis network were different, and even if the The topological model driving this second explanatory strategy is more abstract than the chemotaxis network for E.coli nor topological details about the structure of that dynamical, topological, and design explanatory strategies differ as I claim—specifically, mechanistic explanation for the perfect robustness of chemotaxis for B.subtilis. chemotaxis (in E.coli, B.subtilis, etc) apply mathematical techniques to network models. Then topological and organizational design explanatory strategies are mechanistic ./cache/work_3xxhy2hklbhwtaua3prq2lvyzq.pdf ./txt/work_3xxhy2hklbhwtaua3prq2lvyzq.txt
