Reference Populations
ENF (Early Neolithic Farmers)
A prehistoric population from the early Neolithic era, mainly spread across Europe through migration of farming communities.
MHG (Mesolithic Hunter-Gatherers)
Ancient populations in Europe who relied on hunting and gathering before the spread of agriculture.
OOA-Basal (Out of Africa-Basal)
Early modern humans who migrated out of Africa, contributing to basal Eurasian ancestry, the ancestral layer not directly linked to any other Eurasian groups.
East-Eurasian
Populations in East and Southeast Asia, contributing genetically to modern Asian groups.
Amerindian
Indigenous peoples of the Americas, descended from ancient migrants from Asia across Beringia.
Archaic-Man
Refers to ancient hominid species like Neanderthals or Denisovans, who contributed genetically to non-African modern humans.
Human_root
The most basal split in human evolutionary history, representing the common ancestor of all modern humans.
Oceanian
Ancestral populations of the Pacific Islands, including Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
ASA (Ancestral South Asian)
Ancestral populations of the Indian subcontinent, contributing to the genetic makeup of South Asian populations.
ANE (Ancient North Eurasians)
Paleolithic hunter-gatherer populations who inhabited Siberia, contributing genetic ancestry across Eurasia and the Americas.
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 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
- Ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
