Researchers sequenced ancient Egyptian DNA from a 4,500-year-old skeleton, revealing genetic links between early Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ancient Egyptian, who lived when the earliest pyramids were built
