Description
Dodecad Weac is a modern genetic admixture calculator that estimates an individual's autosomal ancestry as proportions across four broad, globally informed reference clusters: Atlantic-Baltic, Near‑East, Far‑East, and Africa. Built for a worldwide audience, it provides an accessible yet scientifically grounded snapshot of the major ancestral components that shaped a contemporary genome. The calculator compares a user's genotype to curated reference allele-frequency panels and decomposes the genome into relative percentages for each reference population. This produces clear, quantitative results that help users — from genealogists and educators to population geneticists and curious consumers — interpret continental and large-scale regional ancestry. Examples of the insights users can gain include detection of subtle African input in Eurasian histories, Near‑Eastern influence across Mediterranean and Central Asian populations, Far‑East signals extending into Siberia and Northeast Eurasia, and the Atlantic‑Baltic signature common to northwest Europe. The four reference axes were selected to capture dominant dimensions of global genetic structure: Atlantic‑Baltic (northwest Eurasia), Near‑East (West Asia/Levantine), Far‑East (East and Southeast Asia), and Africa (sub‑Saharan diversity). Placing a profile within this framework helps translate abstract percentages into historical processes such as migrations, admixture pulses, and long-term regional continuity. Dodecad Weac is valuable because it blends rigorous allele-frequency methods with clarity and usability. It is optimized for modern-era genotype data and updated reference sets, making it a dependable first-pass tool for research triage, teaching, and personal exploration. Users should interpret results alongside geographic, archaeological, and genealogical context: the calculator highlights broad patterns, not fine-scale local ancestry. For deeper resolution, haplotype-based or region-specific analyses are reco

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
