Description
MDLP K11c (ModernAncient) is an 11-component admixture calculator designed to decompose an individual or sample’s genome into proportions drawn from modern and ancient-informed reference groups. It models ancestry using eleven components—WHG, Saami, Siberian, EHG, Neolithic, SHG, Onge, Papuan, Mota, African, and Melanesian—providing a layered view that spans European hunter‑gatherers and farmers, circumpolar and Siberian influences, South and Southeast Asian island components, and African lineages anchored by ancient and modern references. Who it’s for: the calculator is intended for population geneticists, genetic genealogy enthusiasts, archaeogenetic researchers, and curious individuals who want a nuanced picture of their deep and recent ancestry. It is especially useful when exploring European and northern Eurasian admixture patterns, interactions between Stone Age groups and Neolithic farmers, and traces of Asian, Oceanian, or African gene flow in modern populations. What you learn: outputs give proportional contributions from each reference group, highlighting signals such as Western and Eastern Hunter‑Gatherer ancestry, Neolithic farmer input, Saami or Siberian affinities, and non‑European components (Onge, Papuan, Melanesian, Mota/African). By comparing component balances you can infer likely admixture events, relative timing (ancient vs more recent inflows), and affinities to regional populations or archaeological cultures. Context and value: built on allele‑frequency contrasts informed by ancient genomes and modern proxies, MDLP K11c connects genetic variation to known prehistoric migrations—hunter‑gatherer persistence, Neolithic expansion, Siberian and Arctic gene flow, and trans‑oceanic or African signals. It offers a practical, interpretable framework to explore ancestry while acknowledging limits: component labels are model constructs sensitive to reference choice and genetic drift; results are proportions of modeled sources, not precise genealogical

Reference Populations

  • WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer): Ancestral population in Europe, prevalent before the advent of agriculture.

  • Saami: Indigenous people inhabiting Sápmi, spanning parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.

  • Siberian: Populations from Siberia with unique genetic traits, often linked to rugged climates and nomadic lifestyles.

  • EHG (Eastern Hunter-Gatherer): Ancestral population in Eastern Europe and Western Siberia.

  • Neolithic: Refers to populations associated with the Neolithic agricultural revolution in Europe.

  • SHG (Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherer): Prehistoric inhabitants of Scandinavia before the spread of farming.

  • Onge: Indigenous people of the Andaman Islands, known for their isolated genetic traits.

  • Papuan: Indigenous people of Papua New Guinea, characterized by distinct Melanesian genetics.

  • Mota: Ancient population reference from Ethiopia, representing early African genetic diversity.

  • African: Broad term encompassing the diverse genetic backgrounds across the African continent.

  • Melanesian: Populations in Melanesia, with unique genetic adaptations to the island environments.

Continent Grouping

  • Europe: WHG, EHG, Neolithic, SHG, Saami
  • Asia: Siberian, Onge
  • Africa: Mota, African
  • Oceania: Papuan, Melanesian

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
