Elmonem, M.A., Soliman, N.A., Moustafa, A. et al. The Egypt Genome Project. Nat Genet (2024). doi.org/10.1038/s41588-024-01...
The recently launched Egyptian Genome Project aims to sequence genomic variants of 100,000 apparently healthy Egyptian adults, with around 8,000 individuals suspected to have a genetic disease, as well as 200 ancient Egyptian mummies.

impressive, this will be ground breaking work if we can understand DNA of the mummies and how they relate to current population groups!

[@Biblical_DNA]

Yes sir! I definitely recommended that in my reply to Dr. Yehia Z Gad.

[@gamalnassertv]

It's a long project, hopefully results are released periodically. Well done by the way, for pushing Yehia Z. Gad, lol.

[@Biblical_DNA]

Yup. I don't see why they cannot have the ancient DNA for the royal mummies done by next year. It will be interesting to see if they seperate the research or collide all of the samples into one source.

Great work, informative.
