Dodecad V3

Dodecad V3 is a modern-era admixture calculator that decomposes an individual’s autosomal DNA into 16 continental and regional ancestry components. Using a curated set of global reference populations — including European, East_European, West_European, Mediterranean, Asian, West_Asian, South_Asian, Northeast_Asian, Southeast_Asian, Southwest_Asian, African, Neo_African, East_African, Northwest_African, Palaeo_African, and Amerindian — the model expresses relative genetic affinities as proportional percentages. Designed for a worldwide audience, Dodecad V3 serves researchers, genealogy enthusiasts, adoptees, students of population genetics, and anyone curious about their deep ancestry. This calculator provides clear, interpretable insights: which broad regions contributed to your genome, how much of your ancestry aligns with specific continental or subcontinental clusters, and which lesser-known components may reflect complex histories of migration, trade, and population mixing. By comparing profiles against 16 reference groups, users can spot admixture signals from major movements (for example, Eurasian expansions, African dispersals, or Native American ancestry) and identify subtle regional affinities like Mediterranean versus West European or distinct East vs. Southeast Asian contributions. Contextually, Dodecad V3 is rooted in the study of human population structure and recent historical gene flow. It highlights how past migrations, isolation, and admixture events shaped modern genetic diversity without presuming precise genealogical relationships or dates. The output is most valuable as a hypothesis-generating tool: it complements uniparental markers and documentary genealogy, offers comparative visualizations for pattern recognition, and helps users place personal results within broader population histories. As a modern, transparent admixture calculator, Dodecad V3 emphasizes clarity, reproducibility, and educational value. Users should interpret results as s
