Reference Populations

  • Caucasian: Populations primarily from the Caucasus region, characterized by a diverse mixture of ethnic groups and languages.

  • South-Euro: Populations from Southern Europe, typically including Mediterranean countries like Italy, Spain, and Greece, known for historical Roman and Hellenic influences.

  • North-Eurasian: Populations from the northern areas of Eurasia, often encompassing both European and Asian sectors, exhibiting diverse genetic backgrounds.

  • SE-Asian: Populations from Southeast Asia, including countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, with rich cultural diversity and historical trade networks.

  • Central-African: Populations in the central region of Africa, often representing a variety of ethnic groups with deep indigenous roots.

  • West-Asian: Populations from the Western Asia region, characterized by Middle Eastern ethnic groups and significant historical empires, like the Persian and Ottoman.

  • Horner: Populations from the Horn of Africa, mainly Somali, Eritrean, and Ethiopian groups with unique Afro-Asiatic linguistic ties.

  • Indian: Populations from the Indian subcontinent, known for its vast population diversity and ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley.

  • Amerindian: Indigenous populations of the Americas, encompassing a wide range of ethnic groups from North, Central, and South America.

  • Eastern-Euro: Populations from Eastern Europe, including Slavic, Baltic, and other ethnic groups with strong cultural and historical connections.

  • African_HG: African hunter-gatherer populations, representing some of the most ancient genetic lineages on the continent.

  • East-Asian: Populations from East Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea, known for distinct cultural and historical backgrounds.

  • NW-Euro: Populations from Northwest Europe, often including countries like the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia, with a history of maritime exploration and trade.

  • West-African: Populations from the western region of Africa, typically represented by large ethnic groups such as the Yoruba, Hausa, and Akan.

  • North-African: Populations from Northern Africa, often influenced by both African and Mediterranean ancestries, with historical Berber and Arab influences.

  • Papuan: Indigenous populations of Papua New Guinea, with unique cultural and genetic attributes distinct from neighboring regions.

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 16 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 16 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
