Reference Populations

European

  • CEU (Utah Residents with Northern and Western European Ancestry)

    • Population: Primarily individuals of Northern and Western European descent, typically used as a reference for European genetic studies.
  • TSI (Tuscans in Italy)

    • Population: Represents individuals from Tuscany, offering insights into Mediterranean and Southern European genetics.
  • GBR (British in England and Scotland)

    • Population: Composed of individuals from the Great Britain region, particularly England and Scotland, highlighting genetic variations within the British Isles.
  • FIN (Finnish in Finland)

    • Population: Individuals from Finland, notable for genetic distinctions influenced by historical isolation in Northern Europe.

African

  • YRI (Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria)

    • Population: Represents the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria, providing insight into West African genetic diversity.
  • LWK (Luhya in Webuye, Kenya)

    • Population: Represents the Luhya people in Kenya, serving as a reference for East African ancestry.
  • MSL (Mende in Sierra Leone)

    • Population: Comprised of the Mende ethnic group in Sierra Leone, highlighting West African genetic variation.

Asian

  • CHB (Han Chinese in Beijing, China)

    • Population: Represents the Han Chinese majority in Beijing, commonly used in studies of East Asian genetics.
  • JPT (Japanese in Tokyo, Japan)

    • Population: Japanese individuals residing in Tokyo, providing insight into genetic features specific to Japan.
  • GIH (Gujarati Indians in Houston, Texas)

    • Population: Gujarati Indians living in Houston, Texas, capturing South Asian ancestry.
  • CHS (Southern Han Chinese)

    • Population: Represents the Southern Han Chinese, providing additional context for variations within the broader Han Chinese population.

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 3 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 3 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
