Mephisto Near East K19
Mephisto Near East K19 provides a high-resolution K=19 admixture breakdown using 19 modern reference populations. Tailored for global users with a focus on Near Eastern substructure, it quantifies contributions from Mesopotamia, Iran, Caucasus, Arabia, Mediterranean and global groups (Europe, Africa, South/East Asia, Siberia, Papuan). Ideal for genealogists, students and researchers seeking clear, comparative ancestry profiles.

Mephisto Near East K19 — Modern-era global admixture calculator
This calculator analyzes genome-wide ancestry proportions against a curated panel of 19 modern reference populations to reveal fine-scale Near Eastern and global admixture profiles. Using allele-frequency based modeling at K=19, Mephisto estimates the fractional contribution of distinct regional clusters to an individual's genetic makeup.
What it analyzes
- Proportions from 19 reference groups: Siberia, Balooch-Kalash, S_Asia, Europe, Papuan, Arabia, Mediterranean, N_Arabia, E_Asia, W_Africa, Bantu, SE_Asia, E_Africa, Iran, Egypt, S_Caucasus, N_Caucasus, Maghreb, Mesopotamia.
- Emphasis on discriminating Near Eastern substructure (Mesopotamia, Iran, Egypt, Arabian and Caucasus signals) while retaining global context (Sub-Saharan, South and East Asia, Oceania, Siberia, and Europe).
Who it's designed for
- Genealogy enthusiasts and community researchers seeking regional refinement within and around the Near East.
- Population geneticists and students needing a reproducible K=19 reference frame for comparisons.
- Anyone worldwide curious about how Near Eastern and adjacent ancestries contribute to their genome.
Insights you can gain
- Quantitative admixture breakdown highlighting Near Eastern clusters versus global components.
- Signals of historical migrations (e.g., Caucasus–Iranian influences, Mediterranean and North African admixture, South Asian or Siberian inputs).
- A clear visual and numeric baseline for hypothesis generation and comparison with archaeological or historical records.
Context & value
- Built from modern reference populations, Mephisto K19 offers high-resolution discrimination of regional Near Eastern ancestries in a global framework. It helps contextualize personal and population histories, guides more targeted downstream analyses, and serves as an educational bridge between genetics and history.
Caveats
- Results are model-based simplifications dependen

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 19 sorgfältig ausgewählte modern Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 19 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
