Description
Dodecad Eurasia 7 is a modern genetic admixture calculator that estimates the proportionate ancestral components in a DNA sample using seven reference populations: Sub_Saharan, West_Asian, Atlantic_Baltic, East_Asian, Southern, South_Asian, and Siberian. Built for global use, this tool compares an individual’s genotype to contemporary population profiles to reveal regional affinities and broad ancestral contributions across Eurasia and adjacent regions. Who it’s for: hobbyist genealogists, academic researchers, and curious users seeking a clear, comparative snapshot of ancestry. It is well suited to people with mixed backgrounds, those tracing recent family history, and anyone interested in population-level patterns across Eurasia and Africa. What it analyzes and the insights you can gain: the calculator quantifies how much of your genome aligns with each reference cluster, highlighting mixtures such as West_Asian/Southern blends, Siberian or East_Asian influxes, Atlantic_Baltic affinities, and Sub_Saharan or South_Asian components. Results can suggest historical influences—like steppe movements, prehistoric farmer/forager interactions, Silk Road contacts, or African gene flow—while clarifying whether a signal likely reflects deep prehistoric ancestry or more recent admixture. Historical and genetic context: the seven components capture major clines and genetic centers relevant to Eurasia and neighboring regions. They are based on modern reference samples and therefore reflect recent population structure and known migration corridors rather than pinpointing specific ethnic labels or precise dates. Why it’s valuable: Dodecad Eurasia 7 provides a concise, interpretable breakdown that helps users place their DNA within a broad geographic and historical framework. It is an accessible starting point for deeper investigations and a practical comparative tool for both personal discovery and population genetics exploration.

Reference Populations

  • Sub_Saharan

    • Populations: Ethnic groups primarily located in Africa south of the Sahara Desert, including Bantu-speaking peoples, Nilotic, and other indigenous groups.
  • West_Asian

    • Populations: Diverse groups in Western Asia, including Arabs, Persians, Turks, and other ethnicities in regions like the Middle East and parts of the Caucasus.
  • Atlantic_Baltic

    • Populations: Groups in northern Europe, including those from the Atlantic coastal regions and the Baltic states, such as Scandinavians, Finnic peoples, and other Eastern European ethnic groups.
  • East_Asian

    • Populations: Ethnic groups in East Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Mongolic peoples.
  • Southern

    • Populations: Refers to populations in Southern Europe, including Mediterranean countries like Italy, Greece, and the Iberian Peninsula, often overlapping with parts of the Balkans.
  • South_Asian

    • Populations: Ethnic groups in the Indian subcontinent, including Indo-Aryans, Dravidians, and other ethnic minorities of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
  • Siberian

    • Populations: Indigenous peoples of Siberia, such as the Nenets, Evenki, and other smaller groups with a presence in vast, sparsely populated areas of Russia.

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 7 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 7 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
