Mephisto K15
Mephisto K15 — Global ancestry breakdown
A modern, 15-component admixture calculator that decomposes your autosomal DNA against global reference clusters (Mediterranean, Mozabite, Arabia, W_Africa, Omotic, Arctic, E_Asia, Khomani, Europe, Papuan, S_Asia, Caucasus, Siberia, E_Africa, SE_Asia). Ideal for individuals, genealogists, and researchers seeking clear, comparative insights into recent and deep ancestry, migration signals, and regional affinities.

Mephisto K15 — Modern Global Admixture Calculator
Mephisto K15 analyzes an individual's genome to estimate ancestry proportions across 15 modern reference populations. Using allele-frequency contrasts representative of major continental and regional genetic clines, it decomposes your genetic profile into interpretable components and visualizes how recent and deep ancestry contributions combine.
Who it's for
- Individuals curious about global ancestry patterns
- Geneticists, genealogists, and population-history enthusiasts
- People with complex, mixed heritage who want regional resolution
What it analyzes
- Autosomal SNP data compared to 15 reference clusters: Mediterranean, Mozabite, Arabia, W_Africa (West Africa), Omotic, Arctic, E_Asia (East Asia), Khomani, Europe, Papuan, S_Asia (South Asia), Caucasus, Siberia, E_Africa (East Africa), SE_Asia (Southeast Asia).
Insights you will gain
- Percentage breakdown of genetic ancestry across these regions
- Relative affinities that point to recent admixture versus deep shared ancestry
- Clues about migration, trade, and demographic events that shaped your genetic makeup
Context and value Human populations are the product of waves of migration, isolation, and mixture. Mephisto K15 places your DNA within that tapestry: Mediterranean and Caucasus signals often track west–east Eurasian exchanges; Mozabite and Omotic capture North African and Horn of Africa variation; Papuan, Arctic, and Siberian components indicate ancient dispersals into extreme environments. By combining broad continental groups with region-specific references, this calculator balances sensitivity and interpretability.
Why use Mephisto K15?
- Clear, comparative breakdown across 15 meaningful clusters
- Designed for global coverage and modern reference sampling
- Useful for personal exploration, research cross-checks, and hypothesis generation about ancestry
Interpret results as probabilistic signals influenced by reference choi

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 15 sorgfältig ausgewählte modern Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 15 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
