For this reason, they sought the cooperation of specialists in other disciplines, such as dendrochronology (which determines the age and felling date of a tree [from which a painter's panel derives] based on the measurement of growth rings); textile research; analysis of paint samples, X-ray images, and other radiographic research; forensic analysis of handwriting; archival research; and more.
Anything less will lead to confusion in clinical practice, research, forensic work, and to a misallocation of school services and disability benefits.
PCR amplification of minute quantities of degraded DNA for ancient DNA research, forensic analyses, wildlife studies and ultrasensitive diagnostics is often hampered by contamination problems.
However, recent findings concerning the effects of a number of widespread chemicals on the reproductive success and fertility of wildlife and humans has led to the call for a proactive approach using investigative research (forensic science).
