Reference Populations
- EHG-Steppe: Eastern Hunter-Gatherers from the Eurasian Steppe region, known for their role in the spread of Indo-European languages. 
- Oceanian: Indigenous populations from the Pacific Islands, including Melanesians, Micronesians, and Polynesians, with a unique genetic signature. 
- East Eurasian: Populations from East Asia including Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans, characterized by distinct genetic markers. 
- Iran_N: Neolithic populations from the region of modern-day Iran, significant in the spread of agriculture into Europe and Asia. 
- Siberian: Indigenous groups from Siberia, known for their adaptations to cold environments. 
- Sub-Saharan: Indigenous hunter-gatherer populations from Sub-Saharan Africa, representing some of the most diverse genetic lineages. 
- African_HG: African Hunter-Gatherers, encompassing groups with deep ancestral roots in Africa. 
- South Eurasian: Populations from South Asia, including India, Pakistan, and surrounding areas, with a rich historical background. 
- Western_HG: Western European hunter-gatherers, early inhabitants of Europe before the spread of agriculture. 
- Natufian_HG: Prehistoric hunter-gatherers from the Levant, significant for their role in early agriculture development. 
- Amerindian: Indigenous populations of the Americas, with roots tracing back to the first migrations from Siberia. 
- Anatolian_N: Neolithic populations from Anatolia, key contributors to the spread of farming into Europe.

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 12 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 12 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
