Reference Populations
Reference Panels
SE_ASIAN: Populations from Southeast Asia, encompassing diverse ethnic groups with rich cultural histories, often influenced by Indian and Chinese civilizations.
ANATOLIA_NEOLITHIC: Ancient populations from Anatolia during the Neolithic period, known for early farming and settled life.
CHG_EEF: Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer and Early European Farmer populations, key in spreading agriculture into Europe.
POLAR: Populations from Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, adapted to extremely cold environments.
EHG: Eastern European Hunter-Gatherers, with a lifestyle centered on hunting and gathering in Eastern Europe.
SUB_SAHARAN: Diverse groups from sub-Saharan Africa, characterized by significant genetic diversity and ancient lineages.
IRAN_NEOLITHIC: Early agricultural communities from the Iranian plateau, important for the spread of farming technologies.
KARITIANA: Indigenous people of the Amazon, specifically in Brazil, with distinct genetic profiles and cultural practices.
ANCESTRAL_INDIAN: Ancient populations contributing to the genetic makeup of modern Indian subcontinent's populations.
NATUFIAN: Epipaleolithic culture in the Levant, often regarded as precursors to the first farming societies.
SIBERIAN: Populations from Siberia, known for their adaptation to harsh climatic conditions and migratory patterns.
PAPUAN: Indigenous groups of Papua New Guinea and surrounding areas, unique in their genetic heritage and isolated development.
SHG_WHG: Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers and Western Hunter-Gatherers, early European populations pre-dating agricultural societies.

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 13 carefully selected ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 13 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
- Ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
