Description
DNA Genics World K30 is a high-resolution autosomal admixture calculator that decomposes an individual’s genome into 30 genetic components (K30) using a curated panel of 28 modern reference populations. It analyzes common autosomal SNP data to estimate proportional ancestry from major continental and regional groups — Africa (West, East, North), Europe (Northwest, West, Baltic, Scandinavian, Mediterranean), Asia (East, Southeast, South, Central groups including Bashkir, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Turkmen, Uyghur, Iraqi Jewish, Georgian clusters), Siberia, Oceania, Polar and Indigenous American lineages.
Who it’s for: genealogists, adoptees, family historians, population-genetics students and researchers, and anyone curious about the deep and recent roots of their ancestry. It’s designed for users with raw genotype files from consumer tests or research datasets who want a detailed, regionally informed breakdown beyond coarse continental categories.
What you learn: clear percentage estimates for each modeled component, comparative regional signals, likely points of contact between populations (e.g., steppe-to-Asia interactions, Silk Road admixture, Austronesian/Oceanian affinities, African and Native American contributions), and visual summaries that help frame migration and admixture hypotheses. Results can reveal both recent family-level inputs and older, population-scale layers shaped by prehistoric migrations, trade networks and population expansions.
Context and limitations: the calculator places personal profiles into a global genetic landscape informed by modern reference samples. It highlights broad historical patterns — such as Neolithic farmer and pastoralist movements, Siberian influence on the Americas, or maritime Austronesian connections — but cannot assign precise dates or individual ancestors. Accuracy depends on reference representation and SNP coverage; results are probabilistic and best interpreted alongside genealogical records and other tools.

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 30 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 30 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
