Description
Dodecad Globe 10 is a modern-era autosomal admixture calculator that estimates an individual's genetic ancestry by comparing their genome-wide allele frequencies to nine carefully chosen reference populations: Amerindian, West_Asian, Australasian, Palaeo_African, Neo_African, Siberian, Southern East_Asian, Atlantic_Baltic, and South_Asian. Designed for a global audience — from hobbyist genealogists and informed consumers to population geneticists and students — it provides a clear, interpretable breakdown of ancestral components that reflect broad continental and regional affinities. The calculator analyzes how your DNA clusters with reference panels derived from contemporary and deep-rooted lineages. Outputs indicate proportional contributions from each reference group, highlighting signals such as ancient African heritage (Palaeo_African), more recent sub-Saharan inputs (Neo_African), West Asian and South Asian gradients, Siberian and Amerindian connections across northern Eurasia and the Americas, Southern East Asian and Australasian threads across Oceania and Southeast Asia, and Atlantic_Baltic signatures across western and northern Europe. Users gain insights into likely population mixtures, migration legacies, and regional genetic ties: for example, detecting Siberian–Amerindian affinities that echo Beringian migrations, or distinguishing deep Australasian-related ancestry from Southeast Asian gene flow. The tool contextualizes results within modern population structure and historical movements rather than offering deterministic labels. Dodecad Globe 10 is valuable because it pairs transparent methodology with a compact, interpretable reference set that balances ancient and modern signals. It is useful for exploratory personal ancestry, comparative research, and teaching about human genetic diversity. Clear caveats accompany results: component names are labels for genetic clusters, reference panels and sample composition influence outcomes, and fine-scale g

Reference Populations

  • Amerindian: Indigenous peoples of the Americas, including First Nations, Inuit, and MĂ©tis 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.

  • Atlantic_Baltic: Populations from Northern Europe along the Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea, including Scandinavian and Baltic peoples.

  • South_Asian: Groups from the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka.

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
