Global Ancestry K23 2013
Global Ancestry K23 (2013) — a 23‑component admixture model for worldwide users. It estimates regional ancestry proportions using 24 reference populations across Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. Ideal for genealogy and population research, it offers fine-scale European and African substructure plus Asian, Near Eastern, Melanesian and Native American signals—interpretable proxies of historic gene flows.

Global Ancestry K23 (2013)
This calculator implements a 23-component global admixture model (K23) built from 24 curated reference populations spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. It analyzes a single autosomal genotype file to estimate the proportionate contribution of regional ancestries in an individual's genome, returning a compact, interpretable breakdown of genetic affinities.
Who it's for
- Researchers, genetic genealogy enthusiasts, and curious consumers seeking a higher-resolution, globally-aware admixture profile.
- People with mixed or uncertain ancestry who want to explore continental and subcontinental signals beyond coarse categories.
What it measures
- Proportional ancestry from modeled source groups such as North Africa, Benin–Togo, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Southeastern Bantu, Ivory Coast–Ghana, and Southcentral Hunter‑Gatherers for African structure.
- Detailed European components: West Europe, East Europe, Great Britain, Ireland, Iberian Peninsula, Italy–Greece, Scandinavia, Finland–NW Russia.
- West Asian and Caucasus signals: Near East, Caucasus.
- Asian and steppe-related contributions: Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia.
- Oceanian and Indigenous signals: Melanesia, Native American.
Historical and genetic context
- Each reference acts as a modern or proxy population representing historical gene flows (e.g., Bantu expansion, Eurasian farmer and steppe movements, trans‑Saharan and Atlantic coast West African variation, Austronesian/Oceanian and Native American ancestries).
- Results indicate affinities, not precise origins; components summarize genomes relative to the chosen reference panel and reflect both recent admixture and deeper shared ancestry.
Why it’s valuable
- High-resolution regional breakdown helps disentangle complex multi-continental backgrounds.
- Useful for comparative projects, population studies, and personal exploration when combined with careful interpretation.

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
