Geno MENA K14

Geno MENA K14 is an autosomal admixture calculator that deconvolves your genome into 14 ancestral components spanning the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, South and East Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Built for a ModernAncient framework, it blends contemporary and ancient reference panels to reveal deep population signals — from Neolithic farmers and Bronze Age herders to regional hunter-gatherer and pastoralist lineages. Who it’s for: genealogists, adoptees, enthusiastic consumers, population geneticists, historians and anthropologists seeking accessible, interpretable ancestry breakdowns. Because the calculator uses broad, historically informative reference groups, it is suitable for users from any region of the world who want to explore both recent and ancient ancestry contributions. What it analyzes and the insights you can gain: Geno MENA K14 estimates proportional ancestry from 14 sources — Anatolian_Farmers, MidEast_Early_Farmers, MidEast_Herders, WestEuropean_HG, SubSaharan_South, SubSaharan_North, Caucasian_HG, North_Eurasian, North_African_HG, Iranian_HG, South_Asian, East_Asian, EastEuropean_HG and Kalasha_Herders. Outputs include percentage breakdowns, ranked contributions, and regional affinity signals that help you infer migration pulses (e.g., Neolithic expansion from Anatolia, Iranian plateau inputs, North Eurasian/steppe influence) and subsequent admixture with African, South Asian or East Asian sources. Historical and genetic context: The components reflect major demographic episodes: agricultural expansions from the Fertile Crescent, ancient Caucasus and Iranian hunter-gatherer influence, local European hunter-gatherer substrata, Saharan and sub-Saharan gene flow, and isolated pastoralist signatures (e.g., Kalasha_Herders). By combining ancient and modern panels, the calculator highlights time-depth while remaining relevant to present-day genomes. Why it’s valuable: Geno MENA K14 provides a balanced, interpretable view of complex ancestry for
