The collaboration between World Museum Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University (where lead author Joel Irish is based), and the Francis Crick Institute in London — with the addition of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo as a collaborative partner — represents the kind of multi-institutional, multi-national research framework that major ancient genomics projects now require.

The Population Behind The Individual: What We Can Extrapolate (Carefully)

One of the most important scientific cautions in the study is the warning against generalizing too broadly from a single genome.

The researchers are explicit: NUE001 represents one individual from one site at one point in time, and his specific ancestry proportions cannot be assumed to represent the full population of Old Kingdom Egypt.

This is not false modesty.
