Aetas Antiqua & Moderna K55
Aetas Antiqua & Moderna K55 is a high-resolution, globally focused admixture calculator. Using a 54-population curated panel under a ModernAncient K55 model, it teases apart deep and recent ancestry signals—revealing continental and subcontinental components, historical migration traces, and regional affinities. Ideal for researchers, genealogists, and anyone seeking a nuanced view of their genomic heritage.

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 55 carefully selected modern and ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
- Your DNA is compared to 55 reference populations
- Modern & Ancient 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 & Ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
