Description

DNA Genics Ancestry DNA-2013 K25 (without Jewish populations) is an admixture calculator that deconvolutes an individual's genome into proportions derived from 24 well-defined global reference populations. Built on a modern-era (2013) reference framework, it highlights major continental and regional components — from North Africa, sub-Saharan African clusters (Senegal, Mali, Benin-Togo, Nigeria, Ivory Coast-Ghana, Cameroon-Congo, Southeastern Bantu, Southcentral Hunter‑Gatherers), to Eurasian groups (Near East, Caucasus, Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia, East Europe, West Europe, Finland/NW Russia, Great Britain, Ireland, Iberia, Italy/Greece, Scandinavia), plus Melanesian and Native American ancestry. The model intentionally omits Jewish-specific clusters to focus resolution on broader regional ancestries. Who this calculator is for: genealogists, population geneticists, adoptees, family historians, and curious individuals worldwide seeking a clear, regional breakdown of their genetic ancestry. It is designed to be accessible for non-experts while offering depth useful to researchers comparing regional signals. Insights you can gain: proportional ancestry estimates that suggest likely geographic ancestries and admixture patterns, identification of multiple ancestral contributions across continents, and clues about recent versus older gene flow when combined with known family history. The regional granularity helps distinguish neighboring European and African sources that co-occur in many genomes. Historical and genetic context: Human populations bear signatures of migrations, expansions, and local isolation. This calculator interprets those signatures by comparing a test sample to modern reference populations, reflecting both deep prehistoric movements (e.g., Eurasian and African divergences) and more recent demographic events (trade, migration, colonialism). Why it's valuable: it provides a balanced, globally oriented admixture profile with clear regional d

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
