Marques Modern World K27
Marques Modern World K27 is a high-resolution admixture calculator that models modern DNA against 26 curated reference populations across Africa, Eurasia, Oceania and the Americas. It provides a 27-component-style breakdown to reveal fine regional affinities (e.g., Baltic vs. Scandinavia, Volga & Oural, South_Asia, Melanesia), helping genealogists and researchers explore recent admixture and deeper population structure. Results are statistical estimates and best used with historical and gene

Über diesen Rechner
Marques Modern World K27 — a high-resolution admixture calculator that parses modern DNA into regional ancestry components using a curated global reference panel.
What this analyzes
- Estimates proportional ancestry by comparing your genotype to a broad set of modern reference populations spanning Africa, Eurasia, Oceania and the Americas.
- Produces a multi-component (K27) breakdown that highlights fine-scale regional affinities such as Baltic vs. Scandinavian, Volga & Oural vs. East Europe, and distinctions across North/South/East Asia.
Who it’s designed for
- Genealogists, hobbyist geneticists, and researchers with modern, worldwide ancestry who want a detailed, regionally specific portrait of genetic origins.
- Users seeking more refined distinctions within Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas than broad continental models provide.
Insights you can gain
- Proportional contributions from regional clusters (e.g., North_Africa, South_Asia, Melanesia, South_Amerindian).
- Signals of recent admixture (colonial-era, migration-driven) vs. deeper population structure tied to prehistoric movements.
- Contextual affinities to reference groups to help guide genealogical hypotheses and historic interpretation.
Historical and genetic context
- The model is informed by major demographic events visible in modern genomes: African population structure and Bantu expansions, Eurasian farmer and steppe ancestries, the Austronesian and Southeast Asian dispersals, peopling of the Americas, and Oceanian signatures in Aboriginal Australian and Melanesian genomes.
- K27 does not assign ethnicity or nationality; it maps genetic similarity to contemporary regional samples that reflect layered historical processes.
Why this calculator is valuable
- Offers fine-grained, interpretable components across 26 curated modern reference populations, making it easier to distinguish neighboring regional ancestries.
- Useful as a comparative tool alongside genealogical records

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 27 sorgfältig ausgewählte modern Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 27 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
