Reference Populations
Atlantic-Baltic
- Description: This region encompasses parts of Northern and Western Europe, including the British Isles, Scandinavia, and the areas around the Baltic Sea. The populations in this region are historically interconnected through maritime trade, shared cultural ties, and the exchange of genetic material over several millennia.
Near-East
- Description: Often considered the cradle of civilization, this region includes parts of the Eastern Mediterranean and extends into Western Asia. It has diverse populations with rich histories of ancient empires and significant contributions to early human civilization.
Far-East
- Description: This area refers to Eastern Asia, including countries like China, Japan, and Korea. Populations in this region have ancient roots, with distinct cultural, linguistic, and genetic lineages that have evolved over thousands of years.
Africa
- Description: The continent is characterized by a tremendous diversity of cultures and languages, with populations that date back to the origins of anatomically modern humans. Africa is divided into numerous ethnic groups, each with unique histories and genetic backgrounds.
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 4 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 4 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
