Dodecad BAT (Balkan, Anatolia, Turkic) 3

Dodecad BAT (Balkan, Anatolia, Turkic) 3 is a modern-era admixture calculator designed to quantify and contextualize the ancestry proportions typical of people from the Balkans, Anatolia and Turkic-speaking regions. Using contemporary reference panels, the calculator compares a user’s genotype to modeled Balkan, Anatolian and Turkic components to produce a clear breakdown of genetic contributions and to reveal subtle clines and local substructure within this historically dynamic area. Who it’s for: This tool is aimed at people with family ties to Southeastern Europe, Anatolia or Turkic-speaking populations, regional genealogists, students of population history and researchers who need a practical, interpretable estimate of modern admixture. It is useful for individuals seeking to enrich family histories, for community projects assessing regional diversity, and for researchers wanting a user-friendly summary of ancestry proportions. What you gain: The output provides percentage estimates for each component, nearest-reference affinities, and interpretive guidance that links admixture patterns to historical processes such as Neolithic agricultural expansions, Greek and Roman-era settlements, Slavic migrations, Turkic movements from the Eurasian steppe and Ottoman-era mobility. Because the reference set includes multiple samples for each component, the calculator emphasizes robustness to local heterogeneity and helps distinguish recent gene flow from deeper shared ancestry. Context and value: The Balkans–Anatolia–Turkic corridor has been a crossroads for millennia. Genetic signals here reflect layered migrations, language shifts and trade connections. Dodecad BAT 3 clarifies where an individual falls within those layers in the modern era, translating complex allele-frequency comparisons into accessible, actionable insights. Limitations: Results are probabilistic estimates dependent on reference selection and contemporary sampling; they are most informative when com
