Description
Mephisto Near East K19 is a modern-era admixture calculator that decomposes an individual’s autosomal genotype into proportions drawn from 19 geographically and historically informed reference populations. Designed for a global audience — genealogists, population geneticists, history enthusiasts and curious individuals — it emphasizes fine-grained resolution across the Near East and its neighboring regions while retaining world-wide context. The model reports percentage contributions from Siberia, Balooch-Kalash, S_Asia, Europe, Papuan, Arabia, Mediterranean, N_Arabia, E_Asia, W_Africa, Bantu, SE_Asia, E_Africa, Iran, Egypt, S_Caucasus, N_Caucasus, Maghreb and Mesopotamia, enabling users to see both local Near Eastern signals and long-range connections. This calculator illuminates recent and relatively deep ancestry: it can distinguish Mediterranean and Arabian components from Caucasus and Iranian signals, reveal Sub-Saharan African or South Asian admixture, and highlight eastern inputs such as Siberian or East Asian ancestry. By situating personal results within well-chosen references, users gain insights into likely historical processes — for example, Neolithic farmer dispersals, Bronze Age population movements, trade- and migration-driven gene flow across Mesopotamia, Arab expansions, or more recent colonial and diasporic admixture. Why Mephisto Near East K19 is valuable: it balances regional detail with global perspective, making it useful for hypothesis generation, comparative studies, and personal exploration. Results are model-based estimates and work best with high-quality SNP data; they are most informative when interpreted alongside historical, archaeological and familial information. Whether you want a clearer picture of a Near Eastern family history, a comparative sample for research, or a richer understanding of how Eurasian, African and Asian ancestries intersect, this calculator provides a transparent, interpretable breakdown rooted in contemporary

Reference Populations

  • Siberia: Indigenous peoples, including Turkic and Mongolic groups, with a history of nomadic cultures.
  • Balooch-Kalash: Populations from the area of Pakistan and Eastern Iran, including Baluch and Kalash ethnic groups.
  • S_Asia: Populations from the Indian subcontinent with diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds.
  • Europe: Ethnically and culturally diverse populations across the European continent.
  • Papuan: Indigenous peoples of Papua New Guinea and surrounding islands, known for distinct languages and cultures.
  • Arabia: Populations from the Arabian Peninsula, including Arab-speaking communities.
  • Mediterranean: Peoples from regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea, with rich historical interactions.
  • N_Arabia: Northern Arabian populations with Arabic-speaking backgrounds.
  • E_Asia: People from Eastern Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ethnic groups.
  • W_Africa: Populations from West Africa, known for their ethnic and cultural diversity.
  • Bantu: Major African ethnic group spread across Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa.
  • SE_Asia: Populations from Southeast Asia, including a mosaic of ethnic groups and cultures.
  • E_Africa: Diverse populations in East Africa, including Swahili and other ethnic groups.
  • Iran: Populations from Iran, with Persian and other ethnic groups.
  • Egypt: Predominantly Arab and Coptic populations with ancient historical roots.
  • S_Caucasus: Populations from the South Caucasus region, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
  • N_Caucasus: Diverse ethnic groups from the North Caucasus region, including Chechens and Dagestanis.

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 19 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 19 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
