Did you also post an issue on the MIxS tracker? If so, can you link to it here?

This is because MIxS is focuing on the details on how the sequence data is done. THe information i'm gathering here is similar in definition, but we need more fields.

Open to changing this term if it needs to be unique from investigation_type (maybe analyses_performed, which is what I had suggested but I was limited to MIxS terms).
