Reference Populations
Caucasus: Encompasses diverse ethnic groups mainly from the mountainous regions between Europe and Asia such as Armenians and Georgians.
Northwestern: Refers to populations from Northwestern Europe, including areas like the British Isles and Scandinavia.
Northeastern: This typically includes populations from Northeastern Europe, encompassing countries like Russia and the Baltic states.
Southeastern: Populations primarily from Southeastern Europe, such as the Balkans.
African: Encompasses the diverse ethnic populations across the African continent.
Far_Asian: Populations from East Asia, including countries such as China, Japan, and Korea.
Southwestern: Usually refers to populations from Southwestern Europe, like the Iberian Peninsula.
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
