Reference Populations
African
- Description: Includes diverse ethnic groups from Sub-Saharan Africa, exhibiting a rich variety of languages and cultures.
ASI (Ancestral South Indian)
- Description: Represents the ancient populations of South Asia prior to the Aryan migrations.
CHG (Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer)
- Description: Ancient populations from the Caucasus region, contributing to the genetic makeup of current West Asian and European populations.
EA (East Asian)
- Description: Encompasses populations from Eastern Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea, known for distinct cultural and genetic traits.
NEA (Northeast Asian)
- Description: Includes populations from the northern regions of East Asia, often distinguished by adaptation to cold climates.
Northafrican
- Description: Represents populations from North Africa, characterized by a mix of indigenous Berber, Arab, and Mediterranean influences.
Papuan
- Description: Refers to the indigenous peoples of New Guinea and surrounding islands, recognized for their unique genetic lineage.
SEA (Southeast Asian)
- Description: Includes diverse groups from regions like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, displaying a rich blend of cultures and ancestries.
Siberian
- Description: Encompasses indigenous populations of Siberia, adapted to harsh climates and diverse environments.
Southeuropean
- Description: Covers populations from southern Europe, influenced by Mediterranean cultures and history.

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
