Mummified foot resting on DNA autoradiograms
Mummys foot. Close-up of the foot of an Egyptian mummy on autoradiograms. The autoradiograms are X- ray prints made from DNA extracted from the foot. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule responsible for carrying the genetic code. It holds the code as a series of pairs of bases along the length of the molecule. The dark bands on the autoradiogram represent the positions of specific bases in the DNA, and thus the genetic code. This " DNA fingerprint" is different for every individual, and familial traits can be traced by studying it. Taking DNA from preserved humans gives a good account of how humans spread across the world from the point of their evolution

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mummified foot resting on DNA autoradiograms, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of genetics and ancient history. The foot belongs to an Egyptian mummy, and the autoradiograms are X-ray prints created from DNA extracted from this very foot. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the fundamental molecule responsible for carrying our genetic code. It holds this code as a series of base pairs along its length. In this image, the dark bands on the autoradiogram represent specific bases in the DNA sequence, essentially revealing the genetic code itself. Each individual possesses a unique "DNA fingerprint" making it possible to trace familial traits and understand how humans have spread across the world since their evolution. By extracting DNA from preserved human remains like this mummy's foot, scientists gain valuable insights into our ancestral past. This photograph not only highlights advancements in biochemistry and paleoanthropology but also underscores how cutting-edge technologies such as autoradiography and DNA testing contribute to our understanding of human history. It serves as a powerful reminder that even after thousands of years, these ancient remnants can still provide us with invaluable knowledge about our origins and journey as a species.
