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
