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 28 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 28 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
