Description
DNA Genics World K39 (without Jewish populations) is a modern-era admixture calculator that breaks your autosomal DNA into 39 regional components using a global reference panel of 35 population clusters. Designed for anyone with DNA data who wants a nuanced view of ancestral origins, this tool estimates proportional affinities to regions such as multiple West and East African groups, diverse European subpopulations, a wide range of South and Central Asian components, East Asian and Siberian groups, Indigenous American clusters, North African and Levantine components, and specialized hunter-gatherer references like Pygmy and San. By excluding explicit Jewish reference groups, the model focuses on broader regional signals and fine-scale substructure across continents.
Users gain practical insights into recent family ancestry and deeper population history: relative contributions from neighboring regions, traces of historic migrations (e.g., Bantu expansions, Eurasian steppe movements, South Asian coastal and inland differentiation), signatures consistent with transcontinental trade and migration routes (Sahara, Silk Road, Indian Ocean), and the distinct genetic footprints of island, Mediterranean, and northern European populations. The calculator highlights both common and subtle admixture signals, helping you distinguish local endogamy from long-range gene flow.
This resource is valuable for hobbyist genealogists, students of population genetics, and anyone curious about how their DNA relates to contemporary global diversity. It provides a balanced, scientifically grounded perspective—useful for comparative analysis, hypothesis generation, and enriching family histories—while avoiding clinical interpretations. Results are best interpreted alongside family records and additional genetic tools; together they tell a richer story about how human populations moved, mixed, and formed the patterns we observe today.

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
