Description
Tolan K7 M1 is a modern, seven-way autosomal admixture calculator designed to estimate an individual’s proportional ancestry using a compact set of geographically informative reference clusters. By comparing your genotype to seven reference populations—North-Euro, Mediterranean, Caspian-Sea, N-Africa & Middle-Eastern, Africa, SE-Asia, and NE-Asia—Tolan K7 M1 provides an interpretable breakdown of genetic affinity across major Eurasian and African axes. It is intended for a global audience: genealogical hobbyists, community researchers, population geneticists seeking a quick comparative model, and anyone curious about broad-scale ancestry composition.
What it analyzes: Tolan K7 M1 uses genome-wide autosomal markers to calculate percentage contributions from each reference cluster. Results highlight regional affinities, admixture clines, and the relative influence of historically distinct gene pools in a modern individual’s genome. The calculator emphasizes recent and deep ancestry signals that are detectable through allele frequency contrasts between the seven reference groups.
Historical and genetic context: These seven clusters reflect major demographic episodes—out-of-Africa dispersal, Eurasian splits, Mediterranean and Near Eastern movements (Neolithic farmers, classical-era admixture), Caucasus/Caspian zone interactions, trans-Saharan and Arab-linked North African and Middle Eastern gene flow, Sub-Saharan African contributions, Austronesian and mainland Southeast Asian dispersals, and Northeast Asian expansions. Tolan K7 M1 helps place individual results within these broad historical frameworks without over-interpreting fine-scale regional origins.
Why it’s valuable: With balanced resolution, the calculator is simple enough for public use yet informative for research comparisons. It offers a fast way to visualize ancestry across major continental and subcontinental axes, to cross-check genealogical hypotheses, and to explore admixture patterns that shaped mod
Reference Populations
North-Euro
- Description: Populations originating from Northern Europe, characterized by a diverse blend of Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and other European ancestries.
Mediterranean
- Description: Encompasses populations along the Mediterranean Sea, including Southern Europe, the Levant, and North Africa, marked by historical intercultural trade and mixing.
Caspian-Sea
- Description: Populations around the Caspian Sea, including Central Asians and Caucasians, known for their Turkic and Persian influences.
N-Africa&Middle-Eastern
- Description: Covers North African populations west of Egypt and Middle-Eastern populations, rich in Arab, Berber, and Semitic ancestries.
Africa
- Description: Includes Sub-Saharan African populations, showcasing a variety of ethnic groups with deep genetic diversity.
SE-Asia
- Description: Southeast Asian populations, including Indonesians, Thais, and Filipinos, marked by Austronesian and Sino-Tibetan ancestries.
NE-Asia
- Description: Populations in Northeastern Asia, such as the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans, known for their Han Chinese and other indigenous Asian influences.

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
