Reference Populations
Negroid
- Sub-Saharan African: Populations native to the region of Africa south of the Sahara Desert, known for significant ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity.
Europeid
- European: Native populations from Europe, characterized by a wide range of cultures and languages across the continent.
- Middle Eastern: Populations native to the region comprising parts of Western Asia and parts of Northern Africa, with a rich history of ancient civilizations and diverse cultures.
- Caucasus: Groups originating from the Caucasus region, located at the border of Europe and Asia, known for its ethnic variety.
Mongoloid
- East Asian: Populations from East Asia, including countries like China, Japan, and Korea, with distinct cultural practices and languages.
- Native American: Indigenous peoples originally from the American continents, characterized by diverse tribes and cultures.
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 3 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 3 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
