Eurogenes K3

Eurogenes K3 analyzes modern European autosomal variation by modeling an individual's genome as a mixture of three regional components: South_Baltic, North_Baltic, and Northwest_Euro. Designed for researchers, genealogists, family historians, and ancestry enthusiasts with European roots, this calculator reduces complex genome-wide data into an accessible three-way profile that emphasizes major geographic and historical gradients across Northern and Western Europe. Using curated reference panels that represent Baltic-adjacent populations and a northwest European cluster, Eurogenes K3 estimates the proportional contribution of each component to a user’s DNA. It is optimized for modern-era samples and is especially useful when recent historical population structure (rather than deep ancient splits) is the primary interest. Outputs report percent contributions from each reference group and are presented in clear, comparison-ready form to facilitate family comparisons, regional affinity mapping, and population-level surveys. Genetic and historical context: the three components capture major clines shaped by postglacial expansions, Neolithic farming dispersals, and subsequent Bronze Age and historic movements that reshaped northern and western Europe. North_Baltic typically peaks in Scandinavia and northeastern plains, South_Baltic is enriched along southern Baltic littoral zones, and Northwest_Euro reflects coastal and Atlantic-adjacent western European ancestries. These components are statistical clusters reflecting similarity to reference samples, not immutable ethnic labels; they summarize ancestry signals in a compact way. Why use Eurogenes K3? It delivers a fast, intuitive snapshot of north–south and Baltic–Atlantic axes, making it ideal when a concise, interpretable breakdown is preferred over highly fragmented models. It supports common autosomal genotype formats and pairs well with visual plots and comparative datasets. Users should treat results as probabili
