Reference Populations
- Paleosiberian: Indigenous groups from Siberia, often characterized by genetic diversity and ancient lineages.
- African: Populations from Africa, the most genetically diverse continent, with numerous distinct ethnic groups.
- SEA (Southeast Asian): Populations from Southeast Asia, known for diverse ethnic backgrounds and genetic influences from surrounding regions.
- ASI (Ancestral South Indian): Ancestral component in the Indian subcontinent, distinct from North Indian ancestries.
- Basal: Refers to older genetic lineages often found in African populations.
- North European: Populations from Northern Europe, characterized by shared genetic features due to historical migrations.
- East Eurasian: Populations across East Asia and the Ainu, with genetic links from historical nomadic movements.
- Papuan: Indigenous people of New Guinea and nearby islands, known for distinct genetic characteristics.
- Siberian: Ethnic groups from Siberia, sharing genetic traits with Northeastern Asian populations.
- CHG (Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer): Ancient populations from the Caucasus region, influential in the genetics of West Asia and Europe.
Continent-Based Grouping:
- Africa: African
- Asia: Paleosiberian, SEA, ASI, East Eurasian, Siberian
- Europe: North European, CHG
- Oceania: 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 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
