Description
Eurogenes JTest analyzes genome-wide autosomal data to estimate ancestry proportions across fourteen reference components specifically tailored to modern European populations. Designed for people with European heritage, population geneticists, and genealogy researchers, it compares a test genome to reference clusters including SOUTH_BALTIC, EAST_EURO, NORTH-CENTRAL_EURO, ATLANTIC, WEST_MED, ASHKENAZIM, EAST_MED, WEST_ASIAN, MIDDLE_EASTERN, SOUTH_ASIAN, EAST_AFRICAN, WEST_AFRICAN, EAST_ASIAN and SIBERIAN. The calculator quantifies the relative contribution of these components to an individual’s genetic makeup and highlights subcontinental affinities — for example Baltic, Atlantic coast, Mediterranean, Eastern European, Caucasus/West Asian — and flags traces of non-European gene flow. Results present percentage breakdowns, ranked population similarities, and contextual notes about historical processes that likely shaped those patterns, from Neolithic farmer expansions and Bronze Age steppe movements to medieval trade, Jewish diasporas, and more recent colonial or overland contacts. The reference set intentionally mixes dense Europe-centric clusters with extra-European groups so users can detect both regional gradients within Europe and signals of outside admixture (e.g., West Asian, Middle Eastern, South Asian, African or East Asian contributions). Eurogenes JTest is valuable because it balances resolution and interpretability: it reveals subtle gradients without overclaiming precision, and pairs numeric outputs with plain-language explanations and confidence guidance to reduce misinterpretation of small percentages. Suitable for modern-era samples (present-day DNA and recently dated material), it’s useful for individuals exploring family history, researchers conducting population comparisons, and enthusiasts generating testable hypotheses about ancestry. Clear visuals, concise summaries, and historically informed commentary make Eurogenes JTest a practical, educati

Reference Populations

EUROPE

  • SOUTH_BALTIC: Peaks in the Baltic area (Lithuanians).
  • EAST_EURO: Peaks in Eastern Europe (Udmurts, North Russians, Erzyas, and Komis).
  • NORTH-CENTRAL_EURO: Peaks in Scandinavia (Norwegians, Danish, Swedish, English).
  • ATLANTIC: Peaks in Western European Atlantic regions (French Basques, Scottish, Irish, Orcadians).
  • WEST_MED: Peaks in Sardinia (Sardinians).
  • ASHKENAZIM: Peaks in the Ashkenazim. NOTE: Almost everyone in the world scores some Ashkenazim percentage; this is not an indicator of any Ashkenazim heritage. A score of 15% or more can be a clear indicator of any recent Jewish ancestry.

MIDDLE EAST AND ASIA

  • EAST_MED: Peaks in the Levant (Druzes, Samaritans).
  • WEST_ASIAN: Peaks in West Asia (Georgians, Lezgins, Kalash, Armenians).
  • MIDDLE_EASTERN: Peaks in the Middle East (Bedouin, Ethiopian, Somalis).
  • SOUTH_ASIAN: Peaks in South Asia (Gujarati, Bangladeshi).

AFRICA

  • EAST_AFRICAN: Peaks in East Africa (Masai).
  • WEST_AFRICAN: Peaks in West Africa (Yoruba).

ASIA

  • EAST_ASIAN: Peaks in East Asia (Chinese, Northern Hans, Koreans, Japanese).

SIBERIA

  • SIBERIAN: Peaks in Siberia (Nganassans, Koryaks, Chukchi).

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 14 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 14 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
