LM Genetics Global K5

LM Genetics Global K5 is a modern, world-scale genetic admixture calculator that estimates major ancestral proportions from autosomal genotype data. Designed for researchers, ancestry enthusiasts, genealogists, adoptees, and educators, it maps an individual’s genome onto five principal ancestral components contextualized by nine curated reference populations: SouthAsian-Sahulian, South Asian, Sahulian, Mongoloid, Europid, Amerindian-ANE, Amerindian, Ancient North Eurasian (ANE), and Negroid. By comparing a user’s SNP profile to these references, the calculator produces a clear percentage breakdown, highlighting both deep-time signals (for example ANE contributions linked to Upper Paleolithic Eurasia) and more recent regional admixture (such as South Asian or Mongoloid affinities). The model emphasizes historical and genetic context: Sahulian references capture the distinctive ancestry of Indigenous Australians and Papuans; ANE reflects an ancient Eurasian lineage that contributed to both Europeans and Native Americans; Amerindian-ANE and Amerindian references separate older North Eurasian-related inputs from regionally specific Native American variation. The inclusion of SouthAsian-Sahulian and South Asian components helps resolve complex South Asian histories involving long-term interaction between indigenous southern lineages and incoming Eurasian groups. Europid and Mongoloid components provide continental-scale anchors, while the Negroid reference represents sub-Saharan African ancestry in a global framework. Why this calculator is valuable: it distills complex population history into an accessible, comparative report that is useful for hypothesis generation, educational demonstrations, and personal curiosity. Results are presented with interpretive notes and caveats so users understand model limits — including reference panel constraints, resolution limits of K-based clustering, and the difference between model components and neat “ethnic” boxes.
