  2. Genetic history of Egypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_Egypt

    [21] [23] Among ancient Egyptian samples the Djehutynakht sequence resembles a U5a lineage from sample JK2903, a 2000-year-old skeleton from the Abusir el-Meleq site in Egypt. [5] Haplogroup U5 is found in modern Egyptians, [29] [30] and is found in modern Egyptian Berbers from the Siwa Oasis in Egypt. A 2009 study by Coudray et al. recorded ...

    Haplogroup X has been found in various other bone specimens that were analysed for ancient DNA, including specimens associated with the Alföld Linear Pottery (X2b-T226C, Garadna-Elkerülő út site 2, 1/1 or 100%), Linearbandkeramik (X2d1, Halberstadt-Sonntagsfeld, 1/22 or ~5%), and Iberia Chalcolithic (X2b, La Chabola de la Hechicera, 1/3 or 33%; X2b, El Sotillo, 1/3 or 33%; X2b, El Mirador ...

  4. Ancient DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_DNA

    Ancient DNA (aDNA) is DNA isolated from ancient sources (typically specimens, but also environmental DNA). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Due to degradation processes (including cross-linking , deamination and fragmentation ) [ 3 ] ancient DNA is more degraded in comparison with contemporary genetic material. [ 4 ]

  5. Archaeogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeogenetics

    Archaeogenetics is the study of ancient DNA using various molecular genetic methods and DNA resources. This form of genetic analysis can be applied to human, animal, and plant specimens. Ancient DNA can be extracted from various fossilized specimens including bones, eggshells, and artificially preserved tissues in human and animal specimens.

  6. Genetic history of the Middle East - Wikipedia

    The genetic history of the Middle East is the subject of research within the fields of human population genomics, archaeogenetics and Middle Eastern studies.Researchers use Y-DNA, mtDNA, and other autosomal DNA tests to identify the genetic history of ancient and modern populations of Egypt, Persia, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Arabia, the Levant, and other areas.

  7. List of DNA-tested mummies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNA-tested_mummies

    This is a purported list of ancient humans remains, including mummies, that may have been DNA tested. Provided as evidence of the testing are links to the mitochondrial DNA sequences, and/or to the human haplogroups to which each case has been assigned. Also provided is a brief description of when and where they lived.

    Schematic illustration of maternal (mtDNA) gene-flow in and out of Beringia, from 25,000 years ago to present. The genetic history of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas is divided into two distinct periods: the initial peopling of the Americas from about 20,000 to 14,000 years ago (20–14 kya), [1] and European contact, after about 500 years ago.

    Three of the bodies were found with coverings of different types (reed matting, palm fibre and animal skin), which still remain with the bodies. The bodies were found in fetal positions lying on their left sides. Since 1901, the first body excavated (EA 32751, nicknamed "Ginger" for his red hair) has remained on display in the British Museum.
