MDLP K12b Supervised

The MDLP K12b Supervised calculator quantifies an individual's genetic ancestry across twelve curated reference components, using a supervised modeling approach that ties modern and ancient population signals to interpretable labels. It analyzes genotype data to estimate proportions from African_HG (Hunter-Gatherer), Amerindian, ANI (Ancestral North Indian), ASI (Ancestral South Indian), NEA (Northeast Asian), SEA (Southeast Asian), Arctic, Caucasian, Northeuropean, Volga_Ural, Papuan, and Siberian sources. Designed for worldwide users—researchers, genealogists, informed consumers, and enthusiasts—this tool translates complex multilocus patterns into clear component scores and regional affinities. Users gain insight into deep and recent admixture: the calculator highlights contributions that reflect prehistoric expansions (for example, Neolithic farmer vs. hunter-gatherer legacies), historic migrations across Eurasia and the Americas, and localized features such as South Asian ANI/ASI structure or Arctic and Siberian inputs. The supervised framework provides stability and interpretability by anchoring estimates to explicit reference populations, making cross-sample comparisons straightforward. Results can suggest likely macro-regional ancestry, detect minority or unexpected contributions, and guide further investigation with more specialized methods. Contextually, MDLP K12b bridges modern population genetics and ancient signatures: components represent clusters that are meaningful in anthropological and historical terms while remaining practical for personal and population-level interpretation. The calculator is valuable because it balances interpretability with resolution, offering comparable output across diverse global samples. Users should note that component labels are model-dependent and depend on the chosen references; estimates are best interpreted as relative affinities rather than absolute “pure” ancestries.
