Description
MDLP K10b is a ten-component admixture calculator that estimates the proportional ancestry of a DNA sample against a curated set of global and deep-time reference populations. Combining modern and ancient-informed groups, this model separates your genomic profile into components including African, CHG (Caucasus Hunter‑Gatherer), Onge, Siberian, Eurasian, WHG (Western Hunter‑Gatherer), Melanesian, EHG (Eastern Hunter‑Gatherer), Papuan and Neolithic. The result is a clear, comparable breakdown of biogeographical signals spanning deep Eurasian, Oceanian, African, and hunter‑gatherer ancestries. Designed for genetic genealogy enthusiasts, population geneticists, archaeogenetic researchers, and curious members of the public worldwide, MDLP K10b is useful when you want a concise, interpretable view of ancestral layers. It is especially valuable for users exploring Eurasian prehistory (WHG/EHG/CHG/Neolithic transitions), South and Southeast Asian deep lineages (Onge, Papuan, Melanesian), and broad continental contributions (African, Siberian, Eurasian). Users gain insights into major migration signatures, relative contributions from ancient hunter‑gatherer and Neolithic farmer ancestries, and minor Oceanian or Australo‑Papuan traces that typical modern reference panels can miss. The calculator contextualizes these components in plain language and provides a comparative framework to interpret unexpected affinities or low‑level admixture. While powerful for population inference and hypothesis generation, MDLP K10b is not a dating tool and component labels are proxies for complex ancestral clines. Results should be interpreted alongside historical records, archaeological evidence, and other genetic tests. MDLP K10b’s strength is its balanced, ancestry‑focused design: a single, user‑friendly profile that reveals how ancient and modern population strands combine to form individual genomes across the globe.

Reference Populations

  • African: Encompasses diverse populations from the African continent, known for high genetic diversity.
  • CHG (Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer): Ancient populations from the Caucasus region, contributing to modern Eurasian ancestry.
  • Onge: Indigenous people from the Andaman Islands, representing one of the ancient South Asian genetic lineages.
  • Siberian: Inhabitants of Siberia, often possessing genetic traits shared with both European and East Asian populations.
  • Eurasian: Broad term referring to populations across Europe and Asia, showcasing extensive genetic diversity.
  • WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer): Prehistoric European populations who were among the first to inhabit the Western parts of the continent.
  • Melanesian: Indigenous groups from the Melanesia region in the Pacific, marked by distinct genetic features.
  • EHG (Eastern Hunter-Gatherer): Ancient populations that resided in Eastern Europe, contributing significantly to the gene pool of modern Europeans.
  • Papuan: Native peoples of New Guinea and surrounding islands, known for unique genetic markers.
  • Neolithic: Refers to populations from the Neolithic period in Europe, notable for introducing agriculture and permanent settlements.

Grouped by Continent:

  • Africa: African
  • Asia: CHG, Onge, Siberian, Papuan
  • Europe: Eurasian, WHG, EHG, Neolithic
  • Oceania: Melanesian, Papuan

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 10 carefully selected modern and ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

Key Points
  • Your DNA is compared to 10 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 and ancient populations are used as references
  • Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
  • Results are estimates based on available reference data
