Reference Populations
Amerindian: Genetic ancestry stemming from indigenous populations throughout North and South America.
ASI (Ancestral South Indian): A distinct ancestral component found within modern South Asian populations, particularly in southern India.
Neareast: Ancestry originating from populations in the Near East (Middle East), including regions like the Arabian Peninsula, Levant, and Mesopotamia.
Siberian: Genetic ancestry associated with indigenous communities inhabiting the vast Siberian region of Russia.
Mediterranean: Ancestry associated with populations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, encompassing parts of Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Levant.
Ancestor: A broad term referring to any person from whom one is descended, often used in the context of genetic ancestry.
Northeasteuropean: Genetic ancestry linked to populations of Northeastern Europe, including the Baltic states, Finland, and parts of Russia.
Subsaharan: Ancestry originating from populations south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.
Westeuropean: Genetic ancestry associated with populations of Western Europe, including countries like France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Paleosiberian: Ancestry linked to ancient populations of Siberia, predating the arrival of more recent groups like the Northeast Asians.
Caucasian: Genetic heritage associated with populations originating from the Caucasus Mountains region, known for its ethnic and linguistic diversity.
Austronesian: Ancestry found in populations spread across Southeast Asia, Oceania, and Madagascar, linked by a common linguistic and cultural heritage.
Melanesian: Genetic ancestry associated with populations native to the islands of Melanesia, including Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Vanuatu.
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
