MDLP K27

MDLP K27 (ModernAncient) is a global genetic admixture calculator that decomposes an individual’s genome into 27 ancestral components using a wide set of modern and deep-time reference populations. It is designed for anyone curious about their genetic roots—genealogists, population geneticists, historians, and interested individuals worldwide. The calculator compares a user’s autosomal data to 25 well-chosen reference groups (including diverse African lineages such as Nilotic-Omotic, Cushitic, Bantu, Pygmean and hunter-gatherer proxies; Eurasian clines like Caucasian-Near-Eastern, Gedrosia, Kalash, North-European-Baltic, Uralic and Baltic-Finnic; Asian groups including Tibeto-Burman, East-Siberian, Ancestral-Yayoi, Austronesian; Oceanian and Australoid proxies such as Papuan-Australian and Australo-Melanesian; as well as Indigenous American clusters and an Arabic component). These references capture major historical migrations—Out-of-Africa dispersals, Holocene farmer expansions, Steppe and Central Asian movements, Austronesian and Pacific settlement, and the peopling of the Americas—so results offer context about both recent admixture and ancient population structure. MDLP K27 reports proportional ancestry estimates and highlights which regional or ancient-affiliated components contribute to your genetic profile. Users gain insights into geographic affinities, likely ancestral sources, and signatures of deep ancestry that are not visible from single-region tests. The calculator is valuable because it balances global breadth with representation of under-sampled lineages (notably multiple African, Near Eastern, South Asian and Oceanian proxies), helping to reveal subtle signals and complex multi-way admixture. Results are model-based: they are informative but not definitive—interpretation benefits from considering historical records, archaeology and other genetic studies. MDLP K27 is an approachable, scientifically grounded tool for exploring the tapestry of human a
