So, I'll just say a little more about why yeast; which is, over the decades, yeast molecular biologists have devised so many powerful tools that allow you to make very precise changes in yeast, in their DNA; exquisite control, where you can change a single base that you want in a particular place, you can put a whole gene in, take a whole gene out, swap genes etc..
Nisbet's prior research examining public opinion about climate change and energy insecurity also revealed for science communicators that understanding the public in more precise ways than partisanship or ideology allowed for improved outreach.
CRISPR / Cas9 is a revolutionary technology that allows for precise, directed changes to genomic DNA.
This allows for a more precise evaluation of the attendant cellular, synaptic and physiological changes that occur in response to the initial lesion.
In addition to knocking out genes, the same method allows scientists to engineer precise changes in a particular gene.
