Reference Populations
- West-African: Composed mainly of ethnic groups from the western part of Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Siberian: Indigenous populations of Siberia, including various ethnic groups native to Northern Asia.
- South-Indian: Populations from the southern part of the Indian subcontinent, with Dravidian cultural and linguistic roots.
- Ne-Asian: Northeast Asian populations, including ethnic groups from regions like Mongolia and eastern Russia.
- Kalash: Ethno-religious group primarily from the Chitral District of northern Pakistan.
- Papuan: Indigenous people from Papua New Guinea and surrounding islands in Oceania.
- Paleo-African: Ancient lineages originating from Africa, possibly representing early African human diversity.
- Samoyedic: A subgroup of the Uralic peoples residing in the Urals and northwestern Siberia.
- NE-Euro: Northeast European populations, including ethnic groups from countries like Estonia and Finland.
- SE-Asian: Ethnic groups from Southeast Asia, such as those from Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
- Tibeto-Burmese: Populations speaking Tibeto-Burman languages, found across regions like Tibet, Nepal, and Myanmar.
- SW-Euro: Southwest European populations, including groups from the Iberian Peninsula and parts of France.
- Caucasian: Ethnic groups from the Caucasus region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
- Amerindian: Indigenous peoples from North, Central, and South America.
- Red-Sea: Populations surrounding the Red Sea, including groups from parts of the Arabian Peninsula and Northeast Africa.
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 15 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 15 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
