Description

Tolan K14 M1 is a modern-era, 14-way genetic admixture calculator designed to estimate the proportional ancestry of individuals from around the world using a curated set of regional reference clusters. It analyzes autosomal genotype data and compares an individual's genome to 14 reference populations—NorthWest_Euro, NorthCentral_Euro, NorthEast_Euro, SouthWest_Euro, SouthEast_Euro, Anatolia, East-Anatolia, Caspian-Sea, Persic-Gulf, North-Africa&Arabia, Equatorial-Africa, South-Himalayas, SouthEast_Asia and NorthEast_Asia—to produce an interpretable breakdown of ancestral components. Who this is for: Tolan K14 M1 is built for ancestry enthusiasts, genealogists, population geneticists, historians, and anyone curious about their global genetic roots. It is especially useful for users seeking a balanced resolution across Europe, West and Central Asia, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Himalayas, and East and Southeast Asia. What you learn: The calculator reports proportional ancestry estimates that reveal major regional contributions and highlight mixed ancestries that reflect recent and historical gene flow. Results can help identify predominant continental affiliations, subtle West Eurasian substructure (including Anatolian, Caspian and Persic-Gulf signals), North African/Arabian influence, Sub-Saharan contributions, Himalayan and East/Southeast Asian components, and multi-regional admixture patterns. Context and value: The 14-reference design captures important clines and admixture zones that shaped modern populations across Eurasia and Africa. By distinguishing neighboring clusters (for example Anatolia vs East-Anatolia or Caspian-Sea vs Persic-Gulf), Tolan K14 M1 provides finer granularity than broad continental calculators while remaining accessible for non-specialists. Limitations and best use: Like all statistical admixture tools, outputs are model-based approximations dependent on reference choices and sample quality. Interpret results as probabilistic

Reference Populations

A. NorthWest_Euro

Represents populations from Northwestern Europe, including countries like the UK, Ireland, and parts of France. Known for genetic influences from Celtic and Germanic tribes.

B. NorthCentral_Euro

Encompasses populations from parts of Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands. Influences from Slavic and Germanic ancestries are prominent.

C. NorthEast_Euro

Includes populations primarily from the Baltic states and parts of Russia, showing a mix of Slavic and Baltic genetic components.

D. SouthWest_Euro

Contains populations from Iberian regions such as Spain and Portugal, showcasing a blend of Celtic, Roman, and Iberian influences.

E. SouthEast_Euro

Involves populations from the Balkans and Greece, characterized by Greek, Thracian, and Illyrian ancestries.

F. Anatolia

Refers to populations within the modern-day region of Turkey, historically significant as a crossroads of various empires and cultures.

G. East-Anatolia

Represents eastern parts of Anatolia, an area with influences from Armenian and Kurdish populations.

H. Caspian-Sea

Includes populations around the Caspian Sea, known for the convergence of various Eurasian genetic influences.

I. Persic-Gulf

Focuses on populations near the Persian Gulf, with a mixture of Arab, Persian, and other Middle Eastern ancestries.

J. North-Africa&Arabia

Contains populations from North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, known for Berber, Arab, and Middle Eastern genetic ancestries.

K. Equatorial-Africa

Refers to populations from Central Africa, encompassing diverse ethnic groups with predominantly Sub-Saharan African lineage.

L. South-Himalayas

Includes populations from the southern Himalayan regions, influenced by Indo-Aryan and Tibetan ancestries.

M. SouthEast_Asia

Represents populations from the Southeast Asian region, characterized by Austroasiatic, Austronesian, and Sino-Tibetan influences.

N. NorthEast_Asia

Covers populations from northeastern parts of Asia, including China, Korea, and Japan, with significant Mongolic and Sino-Tibetan components.

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 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 populations are used as references
Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
Results are estimates based on available reference data
