Reference Populations
Europeid
- Description: This group includes populations originating from Europe and parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. It encompasses a wide variety of ethnic groups, commonly characterized by lighter skin tones.
Mongoloid
- Description: Populations native to East Asia, Central Asia, and the Arctic region. They are generally associated with distinctive traits such as epicanthic folds and straight black hair.
Amerindian_ANE
- Description: Refers to the indigenous peoples of the Americas and Ancient North Eurasian populations, known for their diverse cultures and historical migration patterns across the Bering land bridge.
Negroid
- Description: Encompasses the diverse ethnic groups primarily from Sub-Saharan Africa, characterized by darker skin tones and significant genetic diversity within the continent.
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 4 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 4 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
