Egypt Opens Second DNA Lab for Mummies

Cairo University inaugurated a new DNA lab to find clues of mummies' family links. The lab is the second of its kind in Egypt. The priority of the new lab, said Hawass, is "to study the family tree of Tutankhamun, as we do not know who was his father, and where his mother's mummy was buried. We will announce key information about Tutankhamun's family link next August, after comparing the results from the two labs"
