Description
DNA Genics World K39 is a modern, high-resolution autosomal admixture calculator designed to place an individual’s genome into a global context. Using 36 carefully chosen reference populations spanning Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South and East Asia, Siberia, and the Americas, this tool estimates proportional ancestry components and highlights subtle signals of recent and ancient gene flow. It reports concise percentage breakdowns and regional affinities that reflect both deep prehistoric events (out-of-Africa dispersals, Neolithic farmer and steppe movements) and more recent historical migrations (Bantu expansions, Silk Road contacts, Arab and European colonial movements, trans-Atlantic slave trade).
Targeted to genetic genealogists, adoptees, family historians, population geneticists, and curious individuals worldwide, DNA Genics World K39 is useful for anyone seeking a clearer picture of their biogeographic roots. The calculator is especially informative for people with complex, multi-regional ancestry because its 36 reference groups include fine-scale populations such as West and East African clusters, multiple South and Central Asian components, differentiated European clusters (Iberian, Basque, Sardinian, Scandinavian, etc.), and distinct Native American and Siberian references.
Users gain actionable insights: proportional composition across continents and subregions, detection of minor ancestral contributions, and hypotheses about historical admixture and migration patterns. The results can guide follow-up analyses—comparing with uniparental markers, targeted regional datasets, or genealogical records. DNA Genics World K39 emphasizes interpretive clarity and scientific context while acknowledging limitations: outcomes depend on the available reference panels and statistical models and should be interpreted as probabilistic estimates rather than definitive proofs of identity. By combining robust reference diversity and modern analytical methods, this ca

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 39 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 39 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
