Description

DNA Genics Ancestry DNA-2013 K25 is an autosomal admixture calculator that translates your single-nucleotide genotype data into a detailed portrait of regional genetic ancestry. Using a K25 statistical model trained on a wide set of modern reference populations spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas and Oceania, the calculator estimates proportional ancestry across fine-scale groups such as West African (Benin/Togo, Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon/Congo, Ivory Coast/Ghana), Southern African hunter-gatherers, Bantu-speaking clusters, multiple European subregions (Iberia, Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, Italy/Greece, Eastern and Western Europe, Finland/Northwest Russia), Caucasus and Near East components, Central, South and East Asian signals, European Jewish, Native American and Melanesian affinities. Who it’s for: the tool is designed for genealogists, adoptees, family historians, amateur and professional population geneticists, and curious individuals who want a clear, scientifically grounded view of how their recent and deep ancestry is partitioned across global regions. It works best with high-density autosomal data from direct-to-consumer tests or research genotypes. What you learn: the calculator provides proportional ancestry estimates, highlights major admixture sources, and points to regional genetic affinities that reflect historical migrations—examples include the Bantu expansion across sub-Saharan Africa, Eurasian Neolithic and Bronze Age movements, Jewish diasporic signatures, Atlantic and Mediterranean European contributions, transcontinental contacts across the Near East and Central Asia, and indigenous American or Oceanian ancestries. Why it’s valuable: by comparing your genotype to multiple, regionally resolved reference groups, DNA Genics Ancestry DNA-2013 K25 offers a nuanced, interpretable breakdown of your genetic mosaic. It complements documentary research, illuminates complex admixture histories that records omit, and provides a reproducible,

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 25 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 25 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
