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.
Mummies 317a and 317b were the infant daughters of Tutankhamun, a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Their mother, who has been tentatively identified through DNA testing as the mummy KV21A , is presumed to be Ankhesenamun , his only known wife. 317a was born prematurely at 5–6 months' gestation, and 317b was born at or near full term.
This has been determined by DNA-testing both his exhumed remains and DNA-matching with living relatives on the maternal line. [34] Marguerite de Baugé , dame de Mirabel (1200–1252), is an ancestor of Pierre Terrail and the presently oldest known member of H10e with an unbroken genealogical tree on the maternal line up the present.
The deamination of cytosine to uracil at the ends of DNA molecules has become a way of authentication. During DNA sequencing, the DNA polymerases will incorporate an adenine (A) across from the uracil (U), leading to cytosine (C) to thymine (T) substitutions in the aDNA data. [52] These substitutions increase in frequency as the sample gets older.
This is a list of mummies – corpses whose skin and organs have been preserved intentionally, or incidentally. This list does not include the following: Bog bodies for which there is a separate list; List of Egyptian mummies (royalty) List of Egyptian mummies (officials, nobles, and commoners)
[2] J2b1 = Virtually absent in Europe; found in diverse forms in the Near East. [2] J2b1a = Found in Western Europe and Russia. [2] Haplogroup J has also been found among ancient Egyptian mummies excavated at the Abusir el-Meleq archaeological site in Middle Egypt, which date from the Pre-Ptolemaic/late New Kingdom, Ptolemaic, and Roman periods ...
The Na-Dene, Inuit, and Native Alaskan populations exhibit haplogroup Q (Y-DNA) mutations, but are distinct from other Indigenous Americans with various mtDNA and autosomal DNA (atDNA) mutations. [ 14 ] [ 50 ] [ 51 ] This suggests that the earliest migrants into the northern extremes of North America and Greenland derived from later migrant ...
[1] [2] The mummy was excavated at the eastern end of the Tarim Basin, in Loulan. The Beauty of Loulan (楼兰美女), also Beauty of Krorän or Loulan Beauty, is the preserved dead body of a woman who lived around 1800 BC in the Xinjiang region of China. Due to her excellent state of conservation, she is one of the most famous Tarim mummies.
