Abstract
Entire mitochondrial control region data was generated for 277 unrelated Egyptian
individuals. High-throughput robotics, a redundant sequencing approach, and several
quality control checks were implemented to generate a high-quality database. The data
presented here will augment the limited Egyptian mtDNA reference data currently available
for forensic comparisons.
