Description
Aetas Antiqua & Moderna K55 is a high-resolution admixture calculator that compares your autosomal genotype against a curated, globally representative panel to reveal both deep and recent ancestry. Built under the ModernAncient era model, this K55 configuration resolves fine-grained ancestry signals by leveraging 54 reference populations spanning Africa, Eurasia, the Americas, Oceania, and arctic regions. It is designed for world users—researchers, genealogists, and curious individuals—who want clearer insight into the mosaic of ancestral components that shaped their genome. What it analyzes: The tool quantifies the proportionate contribution of diverse population clusters (from Central African hunter-gatherers and West Africa to East Mediterranean, South India, Austronesian-Taiwan, Native American groups, Melanesia, and more). By comparing your data to carefully selected modern and regionally representative references, the calculator teases apart signals from ancient migrations and recent admixture events. Insights you can gain: Understand continental and subcontinental ancestry breakdowns, detect traces of historical expansions (e.g., Bantu, Austronesian, Steppe, Neolithic farmer dispersals), identify regional affinities and unexpected minority components, and place your results in a broader population-genetic context. The output helps distinguish deep-rooted ancestral contributions from more recent gene flow and complements uniparental (mtDNA/Y) findings. Historical/genetic context: Aetas Antiqua & Moderna K55 situates personal results within major human movements—Out-of-Africa legacies, Eurasian hunter-gatherer and farmer interactions, pastoralist expansions, peopling of the Americas, and island-hopping dispersals across Oceania—making it easier to interpret why certain components appear in your profile. Why it’s valuable: The calculator’s curated reference set and K55 resolution provide nuanced, interpretable results suited for comparative studies, family h

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 55 carefully selected modern and ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

Key Points
  • Your DNA is compared to 55 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 and ancient populations are used as references
  • Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
  • Results are estimates based on available reference data
