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

How It Works

• Your DNA is compared to 82 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
