Description
Dodecad Weac 2 is an autosomal admixture calculator that estimates how an individual's modern genome is composed in relation to seven broad reference components: Palaeoafrican, Atlantic_Baltic, Northeast_Asian, Near_East, Sub_Saharan, South_Asian and Southeast_Asian. Built for a global audience, it compares your DNA to a curated panel of contemporary populations to produce proportional ancestry estimates, similarity scores and broad regional affinities. The calculator is optimized for modern-era samples and emphasizes large-scale patterns of shared ancestry rather than fine-scale local ethnography. What it analyzes: Dodecad Weac 2 examines genome-wide markers to infer the fraction of ancestry attributable to each reference component. Results highlight dominant contributions (for example Near_East vs Atlantic_Baltic), detect mixtures between continental groups, and suggest likely geographic clines in ancestry. It is useful for identifying major migration signals β€” such as expansions out of the Near East, population structure within Eurasia, or deep African-related components represented by Palaeoafrican/Sub_Saharan clusters. Who it’s for: genealogists, population geneticists, curious individuals and hobbyists who want a clear, interpretable portrait of global ancestry. Because it uses broad component labels, it is especially informative for people with multi-regional backgrounds or researchers seeking comparative population profiles across the world. Context and value: The seven reference components encapsulate long-term demographic processes: ancient African diversity, West Eurasian coastal and Baltic influences, multiple Asian branches and South Asian mixtures. Dodecad Weac 2 offers a compact, accessible window into those histories, helping users place their ancestry within continental-scale movements and admixture events. Important caveats: outputs are statistical estimates dependent on reference choices and marker sets β€” not definitive ethnic or cultural iden

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.

Southeast_Asian

Populations: Ethnic communities from the Southeast Asian region, including insular and mainland nations, characterized by Austronesian and other indigenous ancestries.

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
