About This Calculator

**Global Ancestry K34 2023 — Modern-era admixture calculator** This calculator analyzes genome-wide genotype data to estimate proportional ancestry across 34 finely resolved reference populations (K=34). It uses allele frequency contrasts to assign segments of your DNA to contemporary and historically informative population clusters, providing a high-resolution view of continental and regional ancestry. What it analyzes - Relative ancestry proportions across 34 reference populations, from Anatolian, Balkan and Northwestern European groups to Central-Asian, Siberian, East-Asian and multiple African, Oceanian and Native American components. - Signals of recent admixture and mixed heritage by measuring how much of your genome aligns with each reference cluster. Who it’s designed for - Genealogists and family historians seeking finer regional signals beyond broad continental splits. - Individuals curious about the geographic and population-level origins of their DNA. - Researchers and students needing an easy-to-interpret K=34 baseline for comparative population analyses. Insights you can gain - Proportional breakdowns (e.g., % Anatolian, % West-African, % Native-American) to inform family history hypotheses. - Detection of minor components such as Ashkenazi, Sardinian or Melanesian ancestry that may indicate specific migration or admixture events. - Context for ancient and recent gene flow—how modern populations relate to one another. Historical and genetic context K=34 reflects a modern clustering resolution that balances geographic detail with statistical stability. Reference clusters are proxies representing broad population histories; they capture both deep ancestral structure and recent admixture. Why this calculator is valuable - Delivers accessible, interpretable ancestry profiles with global coverage. - Helps generate testable hypotheses for genealogy and population studies. - Complements documentary records and other genetic analyses.

Understanding Admixture Analysis

Learn how admixture calculators work and how to interpret your results

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 34 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 34 reference populations
Modern populations are used as genetic references
Results show your genetic similarity to these populations
More accurate with a diverse reference panel

Understanding Your Results

Your results will show percentages of genetic similarity to these reference populations. Remember these important points:

Results reflect genetic similarity, not direct ancestry
Modern populations are used as references
Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution
Results are estimates based on available reference data
