Description
Michał K25 is a modern, global admixture calculator that estimates the proportional ancestry of an individual against a carefully curated panel of 26 reference populations. Designed for genealogists, population geneticists, curious consumers of DNA testing, and researchers studying human diversity, this tool translates genotype data into an interpretable breakdown of ancestral components drawn from Africa, Eurasia, the Americas, Oceania, and Arctic regions.
What it analyzes: Michał K25 compares your genetic data to reference groups including Central-, East- and West-African clusters, Khomani-San, Altaic, Northeast- and East-Asian, Siberian, multiple European components (Northeast-European, Uralic, Caucasian, Mediterranean), Near Eastern groups (Druzian, Arabic, Berberic), South and North American indigenous references, Papuan and Taiwanese-Aboriginal, Kalash and North-Indian, Eskimoic, and others. The calculator reports percentage contributions, highlights nearest-match components, and helps you interpret mixtures arising from historical migrations, isolation, and regional gene flow.
Insights you can gain: Understand recent and deep ancestry patterns, detect signals of ancient population structure (e.g., hunter–gatherer, pastoralist, or agricultural expansions), distinguish closely related regional sources, and generate hypotheses about migration corridors and admixture events. Michał K25 is particularly useful for individuals with complex multi-regional heritage and for researchers comparing diverse global datasets.
Why it’s valuable: The breadth of reference populations offers fine-grained resolution across continents and smaller regional groups, making the calculator informative for both broad continental overviews and nuanced regional distinctions. Results are model-based estimates — informative and directional, but best interpreted alongside historical, archaeological, and genealogical records. Michał K25 is a practical, accessible bridge between raw genotyp
Reference Populations
African
- Central-African: Indigenous to the central region of Africa, encompassing various ethnic groups with rich cultural diversity.
- East-African: Populations from the eastern part of Africa, known for their ethnic and linguistic diversity.
- West-African: Home to a wide array of ethnic groups, known for their historical empires and cultural heritage.
- Khomani-San: Indigenous to southern Africa, San people are known for their unique click languages.
Asian
- Altaic: Encompassing groups speaking Altaic languages, historically in regions of Central Asia.
- Northeast-Asian: Populations inhabiting the northeastern part of Asia, including ethnic groups like the Koreans and Mongolians.
- East-Asian: Encompasses a variety of ethnic groups primarily in China, Japan, and Korea.
- Siberian: Indigenous peoples of Siberia, known for their diverse ethnicities and cultures in the harsh Siberian climate.
- Northeast-European: Can include populations from northeastern parts close to Asia such as the Uralic peoples.
- Nasioic: Referring to ethnic groups in Asia, possibly related to or within the Uralic family.
- Kamchatkan: Indigenous peoples of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, known for their unique cultural traditions.
- Taiwanese-Aboriginal: Indigenous Austronesian people native to Taiwan.
- Papuan: Indigenous peoples of Papua New Guinea and nearby islands, characterized by a large number of distinct languages.
European
- Uralic: Refers to people speaking Uralic languages, mainly found in regions of Northern Europe and parts of Russia.
- Northeast-European: Includes peoples from the northeastern regions of Europe.
- Caucasian: Groups from the Caucasus region, a melting pot of languages and cultures.
- Mediterranean: Encompasses groups around the Mediterranean Sea, known for their historically interconnected cultures.
Middle Eastern and Northern African
- Druzian: Ethnoreligious group primarily found in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel with a distinct monotheistic faith.
- Arabic: Refers to the Arabic-speaking populations primarily in the Middle East and North Africa.
- Berberic: Indigenous peoples of North Africa, known for their Berber languages and traditions.
American
- South-Amerindian: Indigenous peoples from South America with rich ancestral heritages and cultures.
- North-Amerindian: Indigenous peoples from North America, diverse in cultures and languages.
- Amazonian: Refers to the indigenous groups native to the Amazon rainforest.
Indian Subcontinent
- North-Indian: Populations from Northern India, diverse in languages and religions.
- Kalash: An indigenous people living in the Chitral District of Pakistan with a distinct culture and religion.
Other
- Eskimoic: Indigenous peoples traditionally inhabiting the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska.
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 25 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 25 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
