Reference Populations
African: Explore the African ancestry component, which spans the vast continent known for its epic landscapes and incredible biodiversity. From the ancient pyramids of Egypt to the sweeping savannas of the Serengeti and the vibrant cultures of West Africa, this genetic heritage is a mosaic of human history, innovation, and enduring spirit.
Siberian: Delve into the Siberian ancestry component, where the vast, icy expanses of northern Asia have been home to resilient nomadic tribes. This lineage tells the story of people adapted to some of the planet's most extreme conditions, their cultures woven into the fabric of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions known for their stark beauty and dramatic climates.
Indian: Discover the Indian ancestry component, a rich blend of dynasties, languages, and religions that has flourished on the Indian subcontinent. From the spiritual banks of the Ganges to the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, this genetic lineage embodies the diversity and complexity of cultures that have contributed significantly to global civilization.
Papuan: Investigate the Papuan ancestry component, representative of the indigenous peoples of New Guinea and surrounding islands. This heritage echoes the lives of communities that have navigated dense rainforests and mountainous terrains, maintaining traditions that date back thousands of years in one of the world's most linguistically diverse regions.
European: Engage with the European ancestry component, which encapsulates a wide range of historical epochs, from the ancient Greco-Roman civilizations to the medieval kingdoms and modern innovations. This genetic legacy traverses the cultural and artistic achievements that have profoundly shaped Western philosophy, science, and art.
SEA (Southeast Asian): Immerse yourself in the Southeast Asian ancestry component, characterized by its vibrant cultures and histories of maritime trading kingdoms and colonial interactions. This lineage encompasses the warm waters of the South China Sea to the island chains of Indonesia and the Philippines, spotlighting a region known for its tropical diversity and culinary richness.
Amerindian: Reflect on the Amerindian ancestry component, which represents the first peoples of the Americas, from the Arctic tundra of Canada to the forests of the Amazon and the high plains of the Andes. This heritage reveals millennia of adaptation and innovation in diverse environments, offering insights into a profound connection with the natural world and a complex pre-Columbian history.
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 7 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 7 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 populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
