Amerindian: Indigenous peoples of the Americas, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis in Canada, Native Americans in the United States, and Indigenous peoples of Latin America.
West_Asian: Populations originating from the Western Asia region, including countries such as Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and the Caucasus region.
Australasian: Indigenous peoples of Australia, including Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders, and the peoples of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia in the Pacific Islands.
Palaeo_African: Ancient populations in Africa with distinct genetic signatures predating the widespread influence of Bantu migrations.
Neo_African: Includes populations from recent African lineages primarily influenced by the Bantu expansion, incorporating Sub-Saharan African groups.
Siberian: Peoples inhabiting Siberia, such as the Evenki, Nenets, and other indigenous Siberian groups.
Southern East_Asian: Populations from the southern regions of East Asia, including parts of China, Vietnam, Thailand, and neighboring areas.

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 10 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 10 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
