Eurogenes K10 Steppe
Calculator Details
Reference Populations
Near Eastern: Includes populations from Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, parts of Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. Reflects a history at the crossroads of migration and trade.
East Asian: Found in China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia. Characterized by markers distinct to ancient settlement and movements within East Asia.
Siberian: Common in indigenous Siberian populations like Yakuts, Evenks, and Chukchi, adapted to harsh northern Asian climates.
Oceanian: Typical of Indigenous Australians, Papua New Guineans, Melanesians, and Polynesians. Represents ancient migrations and island adaptations.
WHG-UHG (Western Hunter-Gatherers and Upper Paleolithic Hunter-Gatherers): Found in European descendants, reflecting ancient hunter-gatherer contributions.
Sub-Saharan: Prevalent across diverse Sub-Saharan African ethnic groups, capturing rich Bantu, Nilotic, and hunter-gatherer histories.
Hindu Kush: Typical in regions like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India, influenced by local and historical Indo-European migrations.
Steppe: Associated with Eurasian Steppe populations, including Russians, Ukrainians; marks nomadic pastoralist influences.
Amerindian: Present in indigenous populations of the Americas, from Inuit to Central and South Americans, tracing back to early Siberian migrations.
Southeast Asian: Found in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, reflecting early migrations and ethnic group contributions.
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 10 carefully selected modern and ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 10 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 and ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
