Description
DNA Genics World K25 is an autosomal admixture calculator that decomposes a modern individual’s genome into 25 genetically informative components using a curated panel of 109 global reference populations. Designed for anyone with genotype data—family historians, students of population genetics, professional researchers and curious individuals—the tool quantifies the proportional contribution of geographically and culturally defined ancestral clusters across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South and Central Asia, Siberia, East Asia, and Oceania. What it analyzes: the calculator compares your autosomal SNP profile to a broad reference set and produces percentage estimates for 25 modelled clusters (K25). Results reveal patterns of ancestry at a resolution finer than broad continental splits, highlighting signals associated with regions such as the Caucasus and Levant, West and North Europe, South and Central Asia, East and Southeast Asia, Siberia, Sub‑Saharan Africa, and Oceania. What users gain: clear numeric breakdowns and interpretive context that can help reconcile family stories with genetic evidence, illuminate recent admixture events, and place personal ancestry within larger patterns of human migrations and contact. For researchers and educators it provides a standardized, reproducible view of modern genetic structure useful for comparative studies or teaching. Historical and genetic context: the results reflect millennia of human movement — Out of Africa expansions, agricultural dispersals, Silk Road and maritime contacts, steppe expansions and more recent migrations — manifesting as mixed genomic signatures in individuals and populations. K25 balances analytical depth and interpretability: it resolves regional nuances without overfitting. Why it’s valuable: by pairing a large, diverse reference panel with a mid‑level K model, DNA Genics World K25 delivers accessible, scientifically grounded ancestry profiles that are informative for global users.

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
