Reference Populations
African
Represents populations native to the African continent, characterized by a rich genetic diversity and deep ancestral roots.AfricanHG
Denotes African hunter-gatherer communities, traditionally known for a nomadic lifestyle and distinct genetic heritage.Amerindian
Refers to the indigenous peoples of the Americas, with ancestral origins tracing back to early migrants from Asia.Arctic
Comprises indigenous groups inhabiting the Arctic region, often adapted to cold environments.ASI (Ancestral South Indian)
South Asian populations, distinct from other South Asian groups, contributing to the diverse gene pool of the Indian subcontinent.Eastasian
Populations from East Asia, encompassing a wide variety of ethnic groups with shared linguistic and cultural traits.NEA (Northeast Asian)
Consists of populations in the northeast part of Asia, including regions like Korea and Japan, often characterized by specific genetic markers.Norteuropean
Represents populations from Northern Europe, known for their genetic homogeneity compared to other European groups.Sahul
Refers to the indigenous peoples of Australia and New Guinea, descended from early human migrations to this region.SEA (Southeast Asian)
Populations in Southeast Asia, characterized by a blend of indigenous and immigrant influences over centuries.Siberian
Involves native groups of Siberia, adapted to harsh climates and known for their vast cultural diversity.

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 11 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 11 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
