[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] According to what research?? Show me in that article where research is ever mentioned??...My Minor is in English Comprehension...so please show me where the article details any research... [i]Scientists at Zurich-based DNA genealogy centre, iGENEA, reconstructed the DNA profile of the boy Pharaoh, who ascended the throne at the age of nine, his father Akhenaten and grandfather Amenhotep III, [b]based on a film that was made for the Discovery Channel.[/b][/i] Is reconstructing a DNA profile off of a Discovery Channel Documentary snap shot "Research". [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb]This is based off the Discovery Channel leak, This was already addressed, the so called "Leak" that was popular last year was NOT King Tut's DNA but the DNA of an American control sample. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=002612 [/qb][/QUOTE]I dunno, this new Reuters article seems to have the geneticists confirming that King Tut himself had R1b according to their research. That being said, I'm suspecting contamination in this case. Anyone remember [URL=http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20014-royal-rumpus-over-king-tutankhamuns-ancestry.html]this article[/URL]? [QUOTE]However, researchers rarely attempt this approach with ancient samples because the original DNA is likely to be degraded, and dwarfed by modern contamination. It's more common to sequence mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cells contain around a thousand times more copies of mtDNA than of genomic DNA, improving chances of finding large intact samples. Zink and Pusch defend their choice, saying that they took extensive precautions to guard against contamination. For instance, they extracted samples from deep inside the mummies' bones, and genotyped lab staff to rule out contamination. But others doubt the precautions were sufficiently rigorous. Robert Connolly of the University of Liverpool, UK, who carried out blood typing of Tutankhamun's mummy in the 1960s, argues that it would be difficult to reach deep enough inside Tutankhamun's thin, fragile bones or those of the two fetuses to reach uncontaminated material. Lorenzen adds that many people not just the Hawass team have handled the mummies since they were first unwrapped. The authors should have tested non-human samples from the tombs as negative controls, she says. To judge the quality of the team's results, Lorenzen and others are asking for access to raw data not included in the Journal of the American Medical Association paper but Zink is reluctant to oblige, fearing the data would spark "a lot of arguing" over technicalities. However, Zink, Pusch and colleagues insist that they will soon be able to put any doubts to rest. They say they have also extracted the mtDNA that Lorenzen and others consider necessary for rigorous genetic analysis and are still working on the data. They hope to publish the results this year. But the critics are still advising caution. "When working with samples that are so well-known, it is important to convince readers that you have the right data," says Lorenzen. "I am not convinced."[/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
