- Northwest European: Populations with ancestry from regions like the British Isles, France, and Scandinavia.
- Northeast European: Includes populations from countries like Finland, Estonia, and Russia.
- Central European: Populations from Germany, Poland, and neighboring areas.
- South European: Includes populations from Italy, Spain, Greece, and the Balkans.
Asian
- East Asian: Populations from China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia.

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 4 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 4 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
