Reference Populations
Indian: Represents the diverse ethnic groups of the Indian subcontinent, including Dravidian and Indo-Aryan populations.
SEA (Southeast Asian): Includes populations from countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, known for their Austroasiatic, Tai-Kadai, and Austronesian heritage.
NEA (Northeast Asian): Encompasses populations from China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia, characterized by their Mongolic, Tungusic, and Sinic ancestry.
Papuan: Refers to the indigenous peoples of New Guinea and surrounding islands, known for their distinct Papuan languages.
Siberian: Involves the indigenous groups of Siberia, such as the Buryats and Yakuts, with Uralic and Altaic influences.
Caucasian: Encompasses populations from the Caucasus region, including Armenians, Georgians, and Chechens, with a rich blend of Indo-European and Caucasian languages.
Westeurope (Western European): Includes populations from Western Europe, primarily driven by Celtic, Germanic, and Romance ancestry.
African: Covers the vast ethnic diversity across Africa, from sub-Saharan groups like the Yoruba to North African Berbers.
Amerindian: Represents the indigenous peoples of the Americas, including tribes from North, Central, and South America, with diverse native languages.
Mediterranean: Involves populations from Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Near East with strong historical connections across the Mediterranean Sea.
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 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 populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
