Description
MDLP K14b is a Modern-Ancient admixture calculator that estimates the proportional contributions of fourteen carefully chosen reference populations to an individual's genome. Designed for a global audience—researchers, genetic genealogists, students of population history, and curious individuals worldwide—this tool places your DNA within a deep temporal framework by comparing it to both ancient and regionally informative components: ANE (Ancient North Eurasian), ANI, ASI, Caucasian, Mesolithic, Neolithic, East-Asian, Subsaharan, Near-East, Pygmy, Amerindian, Papuan, Siberian, and Altaic. What the calculator analyzes: MDLP K14b measures relative affinities between your genotype and the reference panel to produce a 14-way admixture profile. Results highlight deep prehistoric signals (for example ANE, Mesolithic, Neolithic) alongside more recent regional inputs (Near-East, East-Asian, Subsaharan), helping you see both ancient substrata and later population movements. Insights users can gain: You will receive a nuanced breakdown of ancestral components that can inform hypotheses about migration routes, regional ancestry, and the deep origins of specific lineages. The profile can help distinguish South Asian Indus-related proportions (ANI/ASI), detect eastern or Siberian influences, and reveal transcontinental traces such as Papuan or Amerindian affinities at low levels. Historical and genetic context: The model synthesizes modern and ancient reference data to bridge archaeological periods and contemporary populations. It emphasizes how admixture is cumulative—modern genomes are mosaics shaped by waves of hunter-gatherers, farming expansions, pastoral movements, and long-distance contacts. Why this calculator is valuable: MDLP K14b is useful for comparative exploration, hypothesis generation, and education. It offers an accessible, reproducible snapshot of deep and regional ancestry without overclaiming precision—best used alongside historical, linguistic, and archae

Reference Populations

  1. ANE (Ancient North Eurasian)

    • Prehistoric populations in Siberia/Central Asia; contributed to Europeans, Native Americans, Central Asians.
  2. ANI (Ancestral North Indian)

    • Linked to Indo-European migrations; northern India, Central Asian, and Iranian affinities.
  3. ASI (Ancestral South Indian)

    • Indigenous Dravidian-speaking populations; southern India genetic continuity.
  4. Caucasian

    • Originating from the Caucasus; includes North/South Caucasus peoples; Eurasian genetic influence.
  5. Mesolithic

    • Mesolithic era populations; transitional hunter-gatherers in Europe, Near East, Asia.
  6. Neolithic

    • New Stone Age communities; agriculture and settlements spread from Near East to Europe/Asia.
  7. East-Asian

    • Populations in East Asia: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolic groups.
  8. Subsaharan

    • South of the Sahara; diverse ethnic groups, deep genetic lineage.
  9. Near-East

    • Encompasses Levant, Mesopotamia, Anatolia; pivotal in agriculture and civilizations.
  10. Pygmy

    • Central African indigenous hunter-gatherers; small stature; ancient lineage.
  11. Amerindian

    • Indigenous Americas; genetic ties to Siberia, ANE ancestors.
  12. Papuan

    • Papua New Guinea, surrounding islands; unique genetic markers.
  13. Siberian

    • Indigenous to Siberia; Turkic, Tungusic, Uralic-speaking groups.
  14. Altaic

    • Central/North Asia linguistic/genetic group; includes Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic.

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 14 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 14 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
