Reference Populations
Palaeoafrican
Populations: Indigenous groups with ancient African ancestry, predating major Bantu migrations.
Atlantic_Baltic
Populations: Northern European groups, including those around the Atlantic and Baltic regions, characterized by ancient and modern European ancestry.
Northeast_Asian
Populations: Ethnic groups from northeastern Asia, including Siberian and surrounding areas, often with ties to ancient Siberian and Mongolian lineages.
Near_East
Populations: Middle Eastern ethnic groups, encompassing ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia and Levant, influential in early agriculture and trade.
Sub_Saharan
Populations: Diverse ethnic groups located below the Sahara Desert, with deep historical, cultural, and genetic diversity in African ancestry.
South_Asian
Populations: Ethnic groups in the Indian subcontinent, known for rich cultural and linguistic diversity, influenced by historical migrations and empires.

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
