Über diesen Rechner
Global Ancestry K23 2017 is a high-resolution admixture calculator that estimates an individual’s genetic ancestry using a model of 23 ancestry components (K=23) derived from 161 curated reference populations worldwide. It compares your genotype to a broad panel spanning Europe, the Near East, North Africa, Sub‑Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia, Siberia, the Americas and Oceania to report proportional affinities and regional signals.
Who this calculator is for:
- Researchers seeking a compact, replicable K=23 overview of global ancestry
- Genealogists and adoptees exploring multi‑regional roots
- Enthusiasts curious about fine‑scale continental and subcontinental ancestry
What this calculator analyzes:
- Genome‑wide allele frequency patterns matched to 23 modelled components
- Relative contributions from 161 modern reference populations (e.g., Western and Eastern Europe, Levant, Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, South Asia, East Asia, Siberia, Indigenous American groups, Oceania, and diverse African populations)
Insights you can gain:
- Percent‑level breakdowns of major ancestry components and regional affinities
- Signals of recent admixture versus older shared ancestry
- Clues to migratory and historical contacts (e.g., Eurasian steppe, Mediterranean, Trans‑Saharan interactions)
Context and limitations:
- K=23 is a modern, statistical model — components are abstractions that summarize genetic structure, not “pure” historical populations.
- Results depend on reference sampling, allele frequencies, and quality of input genotype data. Interpret as probabilistic affinities, not definitive identities.
Why this calculator is valuable:
- Combines broad geographic coverage (161 populations) with a compact, interpretable K=23 framework to reveal subtle multi‑regional patterns
- Useful as an exploratory tool alongside haplogroup and segment‑based analyses for building hypotheses about ancestry

Was ist eine Admixture-Analyse?
Bei einer Admixture-Analyse wird Ihre genetische Ähnlichkeit geschätzt, indem Ihr DNA mit Referenzpopulationen aus verschiedenen Weltregionen verglichen wird. Die Komponenten des Modells stehen für diese Referenzen und hängen von den zugrunde liegenden Daten und Annahmen ab.
Dieser Rechner nutzt 23 sorgfältig ausgewählte modern Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 23 Referenzpopulationen verglichen
- Modern-Populationen dienen als genetische Referenzen
- Die Ergebnisse zeigen Ihre genetische Ähnlichkeit zu diesen Populationen
- Ein vielfältiges Referenzpanel verbessert die Schätzungen
Ihre Ergebnisse verstehen
Ihre Ergebnisse zeigen Prozentsätze der genetischen Ähnlichkeit zu diesen Referenzpopulationen. Beachten Sie diese Punkte:
- Die Ergebnisse spiegeln genetische Ähnlichkeit wider, nicht nachgewiesene direkte Abstammung
- Modern-Populationen werden als Referenzen verwendet
- Die Prozentsätze geben relative Beiträge im Modell an
- Die Ergebnisse sind Schätzungen auf Basis der verfügbaren Referenzdaten
