Dodecad K10a

Dodecad K10a is a modern-era admixture calculator that estimates an individual’s ancestral proportions by comparing their autosomal DNA to 13 broadly defined reference populations: Palaeoafrican, South Asian, West Asian, Southeast Asian, Sub-Saharan, Atlantic_Baltic, Red Sea, East Asian, Mediterranean, Siberian, Africa, Asia, and Europe. It applies model-based clustering and allele-frequency comparisons to generate a proportional breakdown that highlights genetic affinities across Eurasia and Africa. Who it’s for: This tool is designed for genetic genealogy enthusiasts, population geneticists, historians, and anyone with raw autosomal genotype data who wants a clear, interpretable snapshot of regional ancestry. It’s suitable for users exploring family history, researchers comparing modern populations, and curious individuals seeking to contextualize their DNA within large-scale population structure. What you learn: Dodecad K10a provides percent estimates for each reference component, revealing major and minor ancestral contributions, likely population affinities, and geographic trends in your genetic profile. Results can suggest recent admixture (e.g., South Asian and Mediterranean mixes), deeper prehistoric connections (e.g., Siberian or Palaeoafrican signals), or affinities with coastal and inland population clusters like Red Sea or Atlantic_Baltic. Visual outputs and numeric tables help compare individuals or populations side-by-side. Context and value: The reference groups reflect broad genetic clusters informed by modern and ancient samples; they are not exact ethnic or national labels but proxies for regions and migratory histories. Dodecad K10a is valuable because it synthesizes complex allele-frequency information into accessible, comparative results, useful for hypothesis generation, historical inference, and personal exploration. Users should interpret results as probabilistic estimates rather than definitive statements—best used alongside documentary e
