Description
Eurogenes K35 is a modern-era genetic admixture calculator designed to translate your genome into a clear profile of regional ancestry affinities. Using a curated panel of 37 reference populations drawn from Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas, it breaks your DNA into recognizable components — from broad continental signals (West African, East Asian, Amerindian) to finer Eurasian substructure (Basque, Italian, Fennoscandian, North Caucasian, Volga-Ural and many more). This calculator is built for a global audience: hobbyist genetic genealogists, adoptees tracing origins, historians and anthropologists wanting comparative snapshots, and anyone curious about how their DNA relates to present-day population clusters.
Eurogenes K35 provides insights into the proportions of genetic affinity you share with each reference group, helping you distinguish recent family ancestry from deeper regional admixture. It highlights patterns consistent with major historical movements — migrations across Eurasia, Saharan and trans-Sahelian connections, East–West Asian clines and island or coastal signatures — while remaining explicit about scope: results show relative similarity to modern reference samples, not precise migration dates or individual ancestors. The presence of multiple, geographically focused European categories alongside African, Asian and Oceanian components makes this tool particularly valuable for teasing apart mixed or complex backgrounds.
Why use it? Eurogenes K35 turns genotype data into an interpretable map of genetic affinities that complements documentary genealogy and archaeological context. It is useful for comparing multiple profiles, testing hypotheses about regional origin, and learning how your genetic profile sits within global diversity. Practical guidance and clear interpretation notes help users understand uncertainty, the influence of reference selection, and how results should be integrated with historical, linguistic and genealogical evi

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 35 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 35 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
