Reference Populations
African
A broad term encompassing various genetic lineages found throughout the African continent.
Natufian
Ancient Near Eastern ancestry associated with pre-agricultural hunter-gatherers who lived in the Levant region around 15,000â11,500 years ago.
EHG (Eastern Hunter-Gatherer)
Ancient ancestry from hunter-gatherer populations who lived in Eastern Europe prior to the spread of agriculture.
Iranian_Neolithic
Ancestry linked to early agricultural societies that flourished in the Iranian Plateau during the Neolithic period.
Siberian
Genetic ancestry stemming from indigenous populations of the vast Siberian region.
Amerindian
Ancestry associated with indigenous populations across North and South America.
Arctic
Genetic heritage linked to indigenous peoples adapted to the harsh environments of the Arctic region.
ASI (Ancestral South Indian)
A specific ancestral component distinct from Ancestral North Indian (ANI) within modern South Asian populations.
Oceanic
Ancestry found in populations native to the islands of the Pacific Ocean, including Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia.
SEA (Southeast Asian)
Genetic ancestry from the diverse populations of Southeast Asia.
WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer)
Ancient ancestry from hunter-gatherer populations who lived in Western Europe prior to the spread of agriculture.
Paleoafrican
An umbrella term for ancient African lineages that predate the expansion of Bantu-speaking groups.
Anatolian_Neolithic
Ancestry linked to early farmers who migrated from Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and spread agriculture across Europe.
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 13 carefully selected ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 13 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
- Ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
