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
