Russia 8

Russia 8 — Modern Eurasian Admixture Model

This calculator parses an individual's autosomal DNA against eight carefully chosen reference clusters to estimate modern Eurasian ancestry proportions. It measures contributions from Siberian, Caucasian, East-Slavic, East-Finnic, Uralic, East-Asian, Northeast-Asian, and Permic reference populations to produce an interpretable breakdown of genetic affinities in the modern era.

Who it's for:

• People with roots in Russia, Eastern Europe, the Ural region, Siberia, and neighboring areas
• Genealogy enthusiasts seeking regional signals beyond national labels
• Population geneticists and students exploring modern admixture patterns

What you learn:

• Percentage estimates for each of the eight reference components, highlighting mixture between European, Uralic, Siberian, and Asian sources
• Relative affinities that can suggest regional ancestries (e.g., elevated East-Slavic vs. East-Finnic proportions)
• How signals commonly associated with historical events (Slavic expansion, Finno-Ugric presence, Siberian and steppe interactions, Caucasus gene flow) combine in modern genomes

Context and value: Russia sits at a crossroads of forests, steppe, and mountains; its peoples reflect millennia of migrations and local continuity. This tool provides a focused lens on those patterns by using modern reference clusters tuned to the region. It helps convert raw autosomal data into a clear, comparative profile that complements documentary genealogy and archaeological context.

Caveats:

• Results are model-dependent and relative to the reference panel used; percentages are estimates, not absolute proofs of origin.
• This calculator does not date admixture events or identify specific tribes or families.

Use Russia 8 as a robust, educational starting point to understand how multiple Eurasian ancestry streams contribute to a modern genetic profile, and pair it with other analyses (haplogroups, multiple calculators, historical recor
