Dodecad Globe 4

Dodecad Globe 4 is a modern-era genetic admixture calculator that analyzes an individual’s autosomal DNA for proportional ancestry across 21 broadly sampled reference populations from around the world. Designed for genealogists, population geneticists, anthropology students, and curious individuals, it estimates the fraction of your genome that most closely matches continental and subcontinental clusters — from multiple European groupings (Northwest, Northeast, Central, South) to diverse Asian, African, and Indigenous American components (Mesoamerican, Andean, Amazonian, North American). The calculator uses allele-frequency contrasts drawn from contemporary reference panels to assign relative contributions and present a simplified portrait of recent population mixture events. Users gain insight into major ancestral sources shaping their DNA, helping to distinguish broad regional affinities (for example, West versus East African, or South Asian versus Southeast Asian), highlight admixed ancestries, and suggest likely pathways of recent migration and contact. Results are most informative for identifying major continental and subcontinental signals and for comparing relatives or populations in a research context. Historically and genetically, Globe 4 reflects patterns produced by millennia of migrations, trade, conquest, and local population structure; it emphasizes how modern genomes are mosaics of past demographic events rather than discrete labels. This calculator is valuable because it pairs broad global coverage with recognizable regional resolution, making it useful for exploratory research, teaching, and personal ancestry exploration. It is important to interpret results as probabilistic and relative: proportions depend on the chosen reference samples and cannot resolve precise recent genealogical relationships or exact locations of origin.
