Reference Populations
South_Baltic
- Description: This region primarily includes populations from countries like Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. Populations here have been significantly influenced by Slavic, Baltic, and Germanic ancestries, resulting in a rich blend of cultural and genetic backgrounds.
North_Baltic
- Description: Encompassing areas such as Estonia and parts of Finland, populations from the North Baltic region are characterized by a combination of Fenno-Ugric and Baltic ancestries, with distinctive genetic markers that set them apart from their southern neighbors.
Northwest_Euro
- Description: This region generally includes populations from nations such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and parts of Scandinavia. The Northwest European genetic landscape is shaped by Celtic, Norse, and Germanic ancestries, reflecting historical migrations and cultural exchanges.
Continent: Europe
- Regions: South_Baltic, North_Baltic, Northwest_Euro
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
