Reference Populations
- ANE (Ancient North Eurasian) - Prehistoric populations in Siberia/Central Asia; contributed to Europeans, Native Americans, Central Asians.
 
- ANI (Ancestral North Indian) - Linked to Indo-European migrations; northern India, Central Asian, and Iranian affinities.
 
- ASI (Ancestral South Indian) - Indigenous Dravidian-speaking populations; southern India genetic continuity.
 
- Caucasian - Originating from the Caucasus; includes North/South Caucasus peoples; Eurasian genetic influence.
 
- Mesolithic - Mesolithic era populations; transitional hunter-gatherers in Europe, Near East, Asia.
 
- Neolithic - New Stone Age communities; agriculture and settlements spread from Near East to Europe/Asia.
 
- East-Asian - Populations in East Asia: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolic groups.
 
- Subsaharan - South of the Sahara; diverse ethnic groups, deep genetic lineage.
 
- Near-East - Encompasses Levant, Mesopotamia, Anatolia; pivotal in agriculture and civilizations.
 
- Pygmy - Central African indigenous hunter-gatherers; small stature; ancient lineage.
 
- Amerindian - Indigenous Americas; genetic ties to Siberia, ANE ancestors.
 
- Papuan - Papua New Guinea, surrounding islands; unique genetic markers.
 
- Siberian - Indigenous to Siberia; Turkic, Tungusic, Uralic-speaking groups.
 
- Altaic - Central/North Asia linguistic/genetic group; includes Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic.
 
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 14 carefully selected modern and ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 14 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 and ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
