MDLP K10d

MDLP K10d is a ModernAncient-era admixture calculator that decomposes an individual's genome into ten ancestry components informed by both present-day and ancient reference populations. Designed for a global audience—researchers, genetic genealogists, students of population history, and curious individuals worldwide—this tool estimates proportional contributions from key ancestral sources to help illuminate deep and recent population contact and migration patterns. What it analyzes: MDLP K10d models genotype data against ten reference clusters: ENF (Early Neolithic Farmers), MHG (Mesolithic Hunter-Gatherers), OOA-Basal (Out of Africa–Basal lineage), East-Eurasian, Amerindian, Archaic-Man (archaic hominin affinity), African, Oceanian, ASA (Ancestral South Asians), and ANE (Ancient North Eurasians). Each component is a proxy derived from allele-frequency patterns representing broad historical ancestries rather than single ancient individuals. Insights users can gain: The calculator provides percentage estimates that reveal major ancestral contributions, detect subtle ancient signals (for example ANE or OOA-Basal), and distinguish continental or regional affinities such as Oceanian versus East-Eurasian ancestry. Results can suggest likely admixture events, clinal gradients, and affinities useful for comparative studies, hypothesis generation, or contextualizing genealogical findings. Historical and genetic context: By combining modern and ancient-informed references, MDLP K10d places individual genomes within a framework shaped by hunter–gatherer, Neolithic farming, Out-of-Africa dispersals, Holocene migrations, and archaic introgression. It highlights how multiple deep ancestries were reshaped by later movements and local mixtures. Why it’s valuable: MDLP K10d offers a balanced, interpretable view of global ancestry at K=10 resolution—fine enough to show important ancient components but broad enough for robust comparisons across diverse populations.
