Example: "Her ability to make specific recommendations based on the data was impressive."
Alternatives: "capacity to specify" or "skill in detailing".
The ability to make specific changes and additions to crop genomes presents an enormous opportunity for improving the quality and nutritional value of the food we eat.
The ability to make specific perturbations to biological molecules in a cell or organism is a central experimental strategy in modern research biology.
On one interpretation, this approach leads to the view that 'decision making capacity is a clinical assessment of a patient's ability to make specific health care decisions, whereas competency is a legal determination of the patient's ability to make his or her own decisions in general' (Ganzini et al., 2004, 264).
The ability to make specific, targeted gene knockouts would clearly be a valuable addition to the repertoire of genetic tools available for Arabidopsis.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00471.001 The ability to make specific changes to DNA such as changing, inserting or deleting sequences that encode proteins allows researchers to engineer cells, tissues and organisms for therapeutic and practical applications.
Although heterogeneity limits the ability to make specific comparative conclusions, a 'broad brush' review provides a useful overview of the range of web-based interventions available for common chronic conditions and insight into their general effectiveness.
Since the initial discovery repurposing this ribonucleoprotein complex for targeted genome editing, several other applications have emerged (Sternberg and Doudna 2015), expanding the ability of biologists to make specific perturbations in cells and organisms.
You can tell from the range of mutations you've got in any particular tumour whether the thing will be able to escape treatment.' But what McVie calls 'the ultimate glory' has been the ability to make highly specific drugs aimed at particular cell mutations.
Other pianists make entirely different interpretive emphases sound just as convincing, and that is where the magic of great performance lies: in the ability to make a specific sequence of choices sound inevitable and fresh even for listeners who think they know the music inside out.
Literature from the field of implementation science suggests that readiness for change involves both psychological and behavioral components that is, both willingness and ability to make a specific change [ 7, 9].
The ability to make site-specific DNA lesions creates new avenues for site-specific transgenesis.
