One of the best parts of my job is seeing brilliant scientists find a home for their research and thrive with the support around them. Hear from some of our early career group leaders about their experiences of starting their labs.

Who were the ancient Egyptians? It is expressed in the extraordinary historical and archaeological record, but what about ancestry links to other ancient individuals? Today we report the successful sequencing of the whole genome of an individual who lived in Egypt about ~4700 years ago.
