Description
Modern World Kakaji K25 is a 25-component genetic admixture calculator designed to deconvolute contemporary human genomes into proportional affinities with a curated panel of modern reference populations. Using a compact but globally representative set — including European (Orcadian, Sardinian, Finn), Middle Eastern/North African (Bedouin, Palestinian, Druze, Mozabite), South and Central Asian (Punjabi, Kalash, Tamil, Telugu, Makrani), East and Northeast Asian (Japanese, Yakut, Naxi, Dai), Sub-Saharan African (Gambian, EsanNigeria, Biaka_Pygmies, Mbuti_Pygmies, San), and Indigenous American groups (Karitiana, Surui, Peruvian, Pima) — this calculator estimates relative ancestry proportions reflecting recent and prehistoric admixture events relevant to the modern era. Who it’s for: genetic genealogy enthusiasts, students and researchers in population genetics, adoptees and family historians, and anyone with raw genotype data (23andMe, Ancestry, VCF/PLINK formats) seeking a nuanced, interpretable breakdown of their global ancestry. The model balances breadth and interpretability: 25 components give more resolution than coarse continental models while avoiding overfitting common in very high-component analyses. What you gain: clear percentage breakdowns of ancestral affinities, visual barplots and sortable tables, and contextual notes linking components to broad geographic regions and known migration patterns (e.g., Eurasian steppe contacts, African rainforest and southern African lineages, South Asian coastal and inland signatures, and Indigenous American ancestries). The calculator emphasizes that component percentages represent genetic affinity to reference samples, not definitive ethnic labels. Why it’s valuable: Modern World Kakaji K25 helps translate raw genotype data into a story of human movement and mixture across the last several millennia, offering both personal insight and research-grade comparative context. It is accompanied by interpretive guidance on l

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
