Reference Populations
ENF (Early Neolithic Farmers)
- Represents early agricultural communities in Europe, primarily from the Near East.
MHG (Mesolithic Hunter-Gatherers)
- Populations in Europe before the advent of farming, primarily hunter-gatherers.
OOA-Basal (Out of Africa-Basal)
- Represents the basal branch of non-African human populations that migrated out of Africa.
East-Eurasian
- Populations in East Asia and Eurasian regions, including diverse ethnic groups in these areas.
Amerindian
- Indigenous peoples of the Americas, who are descendants of the initial migrants over the Bering land bridge.
Archaic-Man
- Represents admixture from ancient hominin species such as Neanderthals and Denisovans.
African
- Populations across the African continent, responsible for the majority of human genetic diversity.
Oceanian
- Populations in the Pacific Islands, including Melanesians, Polynesians, and Aboriginal Australians.
ASA (Ancestral South Asians)
- Represents ancient populations of South Asia, mixing indigenous groups and later migrations.
ANE (Ancient North Eurasians)
- Ancient populations from northern Eurasia, which influenced the genetic landscape of Europe and North America.
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
