Reference Populations
Africa:
- West African: Populations from regions like Nigeria and Ghana, often associated with the Niger-Congo language family.
Asia:
- Southeast Asian: Includes populations from countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, characterized by diverse cultures and languages.
- South Asian: Refers to populations from countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, known for their rich history and linguistic diversity.
Oceania:
- Pacific: Encompasses populations from islands such as Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and Samoa, with distinct Oceanic cultural heritage.
Europe:
- European: Broadly includes populations from regions like Western, Eastern, and Northern Europe, known for their Indo-European languages and shared historical developments.
Other:
- Pygmy: Indigenous Central African populations, traditionally known as hunter-gatherers.
- West Asian North African (WANA): Includes populations from the Middle East and North Africa, with rich ancient civilizations and cultural diversity.
- Siberian: Refers to indigenous peoples of Siberia, with a history shaped by harsh climates and diverse cultures.
- Native American: Indigenous peoples of the Americas, known for their diverse languages and cultural traditions across North and South America.
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 9 carefully selected ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 9 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
- Ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
