DNA Genics World K9

DNA Genics World K9 (Era: Ancient) is an admixture calculator built to decompose ancient human genomes into nine continental and regional components: West African, Southeast Asian, South Asian, Pacific, European, Pygmy, West Asian–North African (WANA), Siberian, and Native American. Optimized for ancient-period samples and low-coverage data, the tool compares allele patterns against reference populations to estimate proportional ancestry, highlight admixture signals, and reveal deep biogeographic affinities. Who it’s for: researchers in archaeogenetics, museum curators, historical demographers, and curious ancestry enthusiasts who work with ancient or palaeogenomic datasets. It is especially useful for studies of long-range migration, contact zones, and the shifting genetic landscapes of prehistory. What you can learn: the calculator quantifies how much of an individual’s genome aligns with each reference cluster, uncovers mixed ancestry indicative of past population contact, and helps place samples within larger patterns of prehistoric movement. Outputs can guide interpretations of migration corridors (for example, West Asian–North African links or Siberian pulses into the Americas), the persistence of regional signatures (Pygmy, Pacific), and complex multi-way admixture in ancient populations. Genetic and historical context: the nine components reflect broad ancestral reservoirs that shaped human diversity over millennia. By focusing on ancient-era inference rather than modern population structure alone, DNA Genics World K9 emphasizes deep-time relationships and the genetic echoes of past demographic events—migrations, population splits, and long-distance interactions. Why it’s valuable: this calculator provides a clear, comparable framework for summarizing ancient ancestry in a concise set of components. It supports interdisciplinary research by translating genomic variation into interpretable ancestry proportions, helping to formulate and test hypotheses abo
