‘Fishing’ for Mitochondrial DNA in The Egyptian Sacred Ibis Mummies

2018-11-20

Abstract excerpt

The long-term preservation of DNA requires a number of optimal conditions, including consistent exposure to cool, dry, and dark environments. As a result, the successful recovery of ancient DNA from material from warmer climates such as those in Egypt has often been met with scepticism. Egypt has an abundance of ancient mummified animals and humans, whose genetic analyses would offer important insights into ancien...
