Modern World Kakaji K20

Modern World Kakaji K20 is a 20-component admixture calculator designed to decompose a single genome into fine-grained regional ancestry segments using a curated set of contemporary reference populations. It compares a user's genotype to 20 modern reference groups spanning East and Southeast Asia (Lahu, Naxi, Dai, Japanese, Yakut), South Asia (Tamil, Telegu, Kalash, Makrani), Europe (Finn, Sardinian), the Middle East and North Africa (Druze, Bedouin, Mozabite), West and Central Africa (Gambian, EsanNigeria, Mbuti_Pygmies, Biaka_Pygmies), and Native American branches (Karitiana, Pima). The calculator quantifies proportional ancestry, highlights minority components, and provides a contextual framework for interpreting admixture events across recent and deep timescales. Who it's for: genetic genealogy enthusiasts, adoptees and their families, population genetics students, and researchers seeking a comparative, modern reference set for exploratory ancestry inference. It is particularly useful for people with mixed Eurasian-African-American backgrounds or those whose heritage includes underrepresented groups (e.g., Pygmy, Mozabite, Kalash, Makrani). Insights you can gain: percentage breakdowns of continental and regional ancestry, detection of small but meaningful components (e.g., Siberian or North African traces), and clearer differentiation among nearby source populations (South Indian vs. Dravidian-adjacent Makrani, Sardinian vs. Finnish European signals). The calculator helps reconstruct likely admixture histories and informs hypotheses about migration, trade, and isolation that shaped an individual’s genome. Context & limitations: K20 reflects modern reference samples and captures recent and intermediate ancestry layers; it is not a direct map to ancient migrations nor a clinical tool. Interpretation should consider reference sampling, genetic drift, and shared ancestry among groups. Used alongside historical records and other analyses, Modern World Kakaji K2
