Description
MDLP K11e is a ModernAncient-mode admixture calculator designed to estimate deep and recent ancestry proportions using a compact, 11-component reference panel. It compares a tested genome to global reference clusters — African, Amerindian, ASI (Ancestral South Indian), Basal, Iran-Mesolithic, Neolithic, Oceanic, EHG (Eastern Hunter‑Gatherer), SEA (Southeast Asian), Siberian, and WHG (Western Hunter‑Gatherer) — to produce a proportional breakdown that blends signals from ancient and modern populations. The calculator is intended for curious genealogists, population geneticists, amateur DNA analysts, and anyone with raw autosomal data who wants a clearer view of how ancestral layers from different eras contribute to their profile. What you get: a succinct percentage map of ancestry components that highlights deep Pleistocene and Holocene lineages (Basal, WHG, EHG), early farmer and Mesolithic inputs (Neolithic, Iran‑Mesolithic), regionally specific clusters (ASI, SEA, Siberian, Oceanic), plus broad continental labels (African, Amerindian). These results can help users infer major migration legacies, admixture events, and affinities to ancient population movements — for example, distinctions between hunter‑gatherer and early farming ancestries, or traces of Southeast Asian versus Oceanic heritage. Why it’s valuable: MDLP K11e synthesizes ancient-informed and modern reference material to make deep ancestry interpretable for a global audience. It is compact enough for clear visual summaries yet diverse enough to capture key prehistoric and recent signals. Important caveats: outcomes depend on reference construction, sample representation, and statistical modeling; percentages are estimates, not exact genealogical fractions. Use MDLP K11e alongside historical records, regional studies, and other calculators for a fuller picture of your genetic past.

Reference Populations

  • African: Encompasses diverse populations from the African continent, known for genetic diversity and ancient lineages.

  • Amerindian: Refers to indigenous peoples of the Americas, with genetic roots tracing back to early humans who migrated from Asia to the New World.

  • ASI (Ancestral South Indian): Represents the ancient population component of South Asia, distinct from later migrant groups such as Indo-Europeans.

  • Basal: Reference to early diverging human lineages before major global dispersals, often used in context of ancient populations.

  • Iran-Mesolithic: Populations from the region of modern-day Iran during the Mesolithic period, pivotal in the spread of farming to Europe and South Asia.

  • Neolithic: Associated with the first agricultural communities that significantly contributed to the spread of farming and settled life, particularly in Europe and West Asia.

  • Oceanic: Pertains to the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Islands, including Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, showcasing adaptations to island life.

  • EHG (Eastern Hunter-Gatherer): Ancient populations in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, known for their semi-nomadic lifestyles before agricultural expansion.

  • SEA (Southeast Asian): Diverse populations from the region of Southeast Asia, characterized by complex migrations and cultural exchanges.

  • Siberian: Refers to indigenous groups within Siberia, adapted to the cold environments with unique cultural and genetic traits.

  • WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer): Populations from Western Europe during prehistoric times, noted for their hunter-gatherer economies preceding Neolithic farmers.

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
