Reference Populations
Palaeoafrican: Represents ancient African ancestry, encompassing diverse early human populations on the African continent.
South Asian: Encapsulates populations from the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
West Asian: Refers to populations from the regions in the Near East, including parts of the Middle East and Caucasus.
Southeast Asian: Encompasses populations from countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Sub-Saharan: Represents populations from regions south of the Sahara desert, characterized by diverse ethnic groups and rich cultural histories.
Atlantic_Baltic: Covers populations from northwestern Europe, including areas around the Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea.
Red Sea: Involves populations from the areas surrounding the Red Sea, often considered as part of the African and Arabian territories.
East Asian: Includes populations from China, Japan, Korea, and neighboring regions with shared historical and cultural heritage.
Mediterranean: Refers to populations from the Mediterranean Basin, encompassing parts of Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Levant.
Siberian: Represents populations from Siberia, known for its indigenous groups and vast, diverse ethnicities.
Continental Groups:
- Africa: Palaeoafrican, Sub_Saharan, Red Sea
- Asia: South Asian, West Asian, Southeast Asian, East Asian, Siberian
- Europe: Atlantic_Baltic, Mediterranean
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 10 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 10 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
