Reference Populations
ANE (Ancient North Eurasian)
- Prehistoric populations in Siberia/Central Asia; contributed to Europeans, Native Americans, Central Asians.
ANI (Ancestral North Indian)
- Linked to Indo-European migrations; northern India, Central Asian, and Iranian affinities.
ASI (Ancestral South Indian)
- Indigenous Dravidian-speaking populations; southern India genetic continuity.
Caucasian
- Originating from the Caucasus; includes North/South Caucasus peoples; Eurasian genetic influence.
Mesolithic
- Mesolithic era populations; transitional hunter-gatherers in Europe, Near East, Asia.
Neolithic
- New Stone Age communities; agriculture and settlements spread from Near East to Europe/Asia.
East-Asian
- Populations in East Asia: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolic groups.
Subsaharan
- South of the Sahara; diverse ethnic groups, deep genetic lineage.
Near-East
- Encompasses Levant, Mesopotamia, Anatolia; pivotal in agriculture and civilizations.
Pygmy
- Central African indigenous hunter-gatherers; small stature; ancient lineage.
Amerindian
- Indigenous Americas; genetic ties to Siberia, ANE ancestors.
Papuan
- Papua New Guinea, surrounding islands; unique genetic markers.
Siberian
- Indigenous to Siberia; Turkic, Tungusic, Uralic-speaking groups.
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
