Researchers have sequenced the first whole ancient Egyptian genome from an individual who lived 4,500 to 4,800 years ago — the oldest DNA sample from Egypt to date. The body belongs to an adult ...

The Synthetic Human Genome, or Syn HG, a project launched on June 26th, aims to change that. Funded partly by Wellcome, a ...

The oldest known Egyptian DNA sample, from a man who lived between 4,500 to 4,800 years ago, offers new insights into the ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic ...

NIH’s SMaHT Network will chart trillions of somatic mutations to reveal how our DNA changes over a lifetime. In a nutshell ...

In a first, researchers have sequenced the complete genome of a man from ancient Egypt, and the results reveal that he had ...

DNA obtained from the remains of a man who lived in ancient Egypt around the time the first pyramids were built is providing ...

Given the track record, the researchers were surprised with their success in sequencing the man’s genome. “Yeah, it was a long shot,” Skoglund said.

The genome is the full genetic complement of an organism, encoded in either DNA or, in many viruses, RNA. It includes both the genes and non-coding sequences ...
