Description
Egy K6 is a modern, globally oriented genetic admixture calculator that analyzes autosomal DNA to estimate the proportional contributions of six broad ancestral components: Amerindian, African, East Asian, Baltic Sea, Near East, and Oceanian. Built for researchers, genealogists, students, and curious individuals around the world, Egy K6 translates complex population-genetic signals into an accessible summary of ancestral makeup and historical affinities. The calculator compares a user’s genotype to curated reference panels that capture major continental and subcontinental groupings. Outputs show percentage-based ancestry estimates, highlight dominant components, and place results in historical context — for example, Baltic Sea representing Northern and Northeastern European variation, Near East capturing West Asian and Levantine-related ancestry, and Amerindian, African, East Asian, and Oceanian reflecting well-differentiated continental signals. These summaries help users explore migration histories, admixture events, and regional ties at a broad scale. Egy K6 is valuable because it balances global breadth with interpretability: it gives a clear snapshot of how your DNA relates to major population clusters without overwhelming technical detail. Use cases include exploratory family history research, classroom demonstrations of human population structure, preliminary screening for academic studies, and intuitive visualizations for outreach. Importantly, results should be interpreted as probabilistic estimates rather than deterministic labels. Resolution depends on reference sample diversity, recent admixture patterns, and the limits of a six-component model; fine-scale regional ancestry and medical inferences are beyond its scope. Designed to be transparent and educational, Egy K6 provides concise reports, comparative views with reference populations, and guidance on reading admixture output. It’s a practical tool for anyone wanting a clear, historically informed

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 6 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 6 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
