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
