Description
GedrosiaDNA Turkic K11 is a modern-era autosomal admixture calculator built to resolve ancestry across eleven carefully chosen reference components: SE_European, W_Asian, SE_Asian, SSA, NE_European, Indian, NW_European, Turkic, Mongol, Papuan, and NE_Asian. Intended for a global audience—population geneticists, historians, genealogists, and curious individuals—it quantifies the proportional contribution of each component to an individual genome using a compact K=11 model optimized for Eurasian and connected world populations.
What it analyzes: the calculator compares an autosomal sample against reference clusters to estimate ancestry fractions, highlighting signals characteristic of Turkic and Mongol steppe expansions, South and Southeast Asian admixture, West and Northeast European contributions, Sub‑Saharan African input, and remote Papuan/Oceanian affinities. Because it emphasizes components relevant to Turkic-speaking and neighboring populations, it is particularly informative for people with Eurasian, Central Asian, or transcontinental family histories, while remaining applicable worldwide.
What users gain: clear proportional breakdowns, comparative barplots, and component summaries that help identify likely historical admixture events, migration signatures, and relative affinity to named reference populations. The calculator helps generate testable hypotheses for deeper study—e.g., assessing the extent of steppe-related, Silk Road, or South Asian gene flow in a lineage.
Context and value: GedrosiaDNA Turkic K11 balances resolution and interpretability by separating closely related Eurasian sources without overwhelming complexity. It is valuable for exploratory analyses, population comparisons, and enhancing personal ancestry narratives. Technical note: results are model-dependent and use modern reference samples; they are most informative when combined with PCA, haplogroup data, historical records, and archaeological context. This tool is a robust, accessib

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 11 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 11 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
