Description

Michał Baltic Baikal Japanese K29 is a modern-era admixture calculator engineered to decompose a tested genome into fine-grained ancestry components anchored to a broadly Eurasian reference set. Built from 28 well-defined reference populations spanning Northern and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Siberia and East Asia, this K=29 model highlights genetic links to Baltic, Uralic, Turkic, Caucasian, Siberian and East Asian sources—explicitly including populations such as Karel, Belarus, Russian subgroups, Abkhaz, Chechen, Kazakh, Buryat, Yakut, Chinese and Japanese. What it analyzes: the calculator estimates proportional ancestry across modelled components and reports regional affinities, helping users see which historical gene pools contribute most to their DNA. It uses comparative allele patterns from contemporary reference populations to infer admixture signals present in modern genomes. Who it’s for: designed for anyone worldwide with genotype data (researchers, genealogists, enthusiastic consumers and students of population genetics), especially individuals with roots in Eurasia and surrounding regions who want clearer separation among northern European, Caucasian, Central Asian, Siberian and East Asian influences. Insights you can gain: discover relative contributions from Baltic/Finno-Ugric, Slavic, Caucasian and Turkic sources; detect Siberian or Baikal-related input; quantify East Asian (including Japanese) affinities; and explore subtle connections shaped by historical migrations—steppe expansions, Uralic dispersals, Turkic movements and medieval northern contacts. Context & value: because reference choices shape results, this calculator is most informative when interpreted alongside historical, archaeological and linguistic evidence. Its strength is resolution across adjacent Eurasian populations, making it a valuable tool for nuanced ancestry exploration and hypothesis generation about recent and ancient gene flow.

What is Admixture Analysis?

Admixture analysis is a method used to estimate your genetic ancestry by comparing your DNA to reference populations from around the world. Think of it as creating a recipe of your genetic makeup, where the ingredients are different ancestral populations.

This calculator uses 29 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

Key Points

Your DNA is compared to 29 reference populations
Modern populations are used as references
Results show your genetic similarity to these populations

Understanding Your Results

Your results will show percentages of genetic similarity to these reference populations. Remember:

Results reflect genetic similarity, not direct ancestry
Modern populations are used as references
Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
Results are estimates based on available reference data
