Genome analysis
* Genome analyses reveal levels.
* Some genome analyses reveal evolution.
* brings a major insight in the chemical definition of nucleic acids and proteins.
* does show that the tunicates are the closest living relatives of vertebrates.
* reveals many genes with similar sequences in a single organism.
+ Chordate, Classification, Origin of chordates
  * The process of paedomorphosis, where juvenile features are retained in the adult, is the proposed mechanism. Garstang, Walter 1894. Zoologischer Anzeiger' '17', p122.Garstang, Walter 1928. Embryos and ancestors'. 3rd ed, Oxfor, The evolution of chordates, p76. Genome analysis does show that the tunicates are the closest living relatives of vertebrates.
+ Larva, Evolutionary theory, Origin of vertebrates: Animals :: Developmental biology
  * Tunicates are sessile, but their larvae are mobile, and have some features found in early vertebrates. The process of paedomorphosis, where juvenile features are retained in the adult, is the proposed mechanism. Garstang, Walter 1894. Embryos and ancestors'. 3rd ed, Oxfor, The evolution of chordates, p76. Genome analysis does show that the tunicates are the closest living relatives of vertebrates.

### activity | analysis:

Hair analysis
* allows early detection of toxicity, even before a person exhibits outward symptoms.
* can detect drug use for several months or more, depending on the length of the hair.
* is an accurate method of evaluating mineral and heavy metal imbalances and toxicities
  - inexpensive way to diagnose specific deficiencies
  - ostensibly diagnostic procedure that major part of alternative medicine
  - another method of determining toxin exposure that is popular with many clinicians
  - ineffective in determining vitamin deficiencies
  - useful in monitoring progress of chelation therapy

Harmonic analysis
* are part of mathematical analysises.
* is an analysis
  - used to characterize such circadian patterns
  - used, i.e., constructing a least squares fit to waveforms of known frequency

Historical analysis
* Historical analyses focus on the historical development of artifacts and their use.
* Much historical analysis relies on occupations to situate people in the social structure.
* is used to place current events within a context.
* shows that percentiles do change from year to year, but only by minute amounts.

Image analysis
* Image analyses use software
  - versions
* ignores benign cells and classifies malignant cells.
* is all about extracting meaningful data from images
  - used to recreate observed microstructures
* plays a large part of cell biology.
* science, but it is also an inate skill that that persons have or dont have.

Investment analysis
* includes portfolio theory and asset pricing models.
* joint enterprise by the sponsoring and providing organizations.

### activity | analysis:

Job analysis
* breakdown of the tasks and the behaviors necessary to perform a specific job.
* captures the content of jobs as they are described at one point in time.
* is in many ways the first personnel activity that affects commitment and performance.
* is the combination of job descriptions and job specifications
  - most basic activity in human resource management
  - systematic collection of information about particular jobs
* process where judgments are made about data collected on a job.

Kinematic analysis
* computes the motion constraints imposed by bone contacts.
* is the process of measuring the kinematic quantities used to describe motion.

Literary analysis
* can discern the ways in which tropes of sexuality operate in political rhetoric.
* is used to reveal a historical fact or principle.

Mathematical analysis
* helps quantify probability.
* is an integral part of problem solving.
