LM Genetics Global K4

LM Genetics Global K4 is a modern, world‑scale admixture calculator that estimates the proportion of four broad ancestral components in a genome. It compares a user’s genotype data to a curated reference panel and reports genome‑wide percentages for the four reference clusters: Europeid (broad West Eurasian signal), Mongoloid (East Asian–related signal), Amerindian_ANE (Amerindian / Ancient North Eurasian–related signal) and Negroid (Sub‑Saharan African signal). Designed for researchers, genealogy enthusiasts, educators and curious individuals, this tool provides a clear, interpretable snapshot of major continental‑scale ancestry influences. Users receive quantitative ancestry breakdowns and a concise interpretation that helps highlight major historical and population events preserved in DNA: Out‑of‑Africa dispersals, Eurasian interactions, the Ancient North Eurasian contribution to Native American and some Eurasian populations, and African–Eurasian contacts. Because K=4 is intentionally coarse, the calculator excels at showing dominant ancestry components and long‑range admixture patterns rather than fine regional substructure. Why it’s valuable: LM Genetics Global K4 offers a fast, accessible baseline for understanding where a person’s major genetic signals come from and how they relate to human migrations and population history. It is useful as a first step before deeper, higher‑resolution analyses or as a comparative tool across many samples. Important notes and limitations: the four labels are operational clusters used for genetic comparison and reflect statistical groupings rather than modern social identities. Results depend on reference sampling, SNP coverage and quality of input data; low resolution can obscure recent, local or subtle ancestries. Use outputs as an informed starting point and consider follow‑up testing or consultation with population‑genetics specialists for detailed interpretation.
