Eurogenes K8 AMI

Eurogenes K8 AMI is an ancient-era admixture calculator optimized for European contexts. It decomposes an individual's genome into eight deep ancestral components—Amerindian, Siberian, Euro_HG (European hunter‑gatherer), Oceanian, Sub‑Saharan, Southeast Asian, LBK (Linearbandkeramik early Neolithic farmers), and South‑Central Asian—using those groups as proxies for major prehistoric gene pools. Designed primarily for researchers, genetic genealogists, and enthusiasts working with ancient or modern European samples, this tool highlights long-range population structure and prehistoric migrations that shaped Europe. What it analyzes: K8 AMI estimates proportional ancestry from each reference cluster, revealing the balance between Mesolithic hunter‑gatherer heritage (Euro_HG), Neolithic farmer inputs (LBK), steppe‑ and eastern-associated signals (Siberian, South‑Central Asian), and minor long‑distance proxies (Amerindian, Oceanian, Southeast Asian, Sub‑Saharan) used to capture deep or unexpected affinities. Results are model-based and intended as a starting point for interpretation. Insights users can gain: Patterns of hunter‑gatherer vs. farmer ancestry, traces of eastern or steppe-related influence, and low-level signals that may indicate ancient gene flow or later admixture. By comparing samples across time or geography, users can visualize population turnover, migration events, and regional continuity or replacement in Europe. Historical/genetic context: The LBK component represents Neolithic farming expansions from Anatolia into Central Europe; Euro_HG captures indigenous Mesolithic groups; Siberian and South‑Central Asian proxies reflect eastern inputs and steppe dynamics. Other proxies help detect complex or distant affinities that standard models might miss. Why valuable: Eurogenes K8 AMI offers an accessible, interpretable framework for exploring Europe's genetic past. It emphasizes careful interpretation—components are proxies, not literal populations—and
