The Method

The Science Behind the Story

Ancient DNA, modern analysis. Advanced algorithms, transparent results.

Most distinguishing analysis

DNA Segment Matching

We scan your autosomal DNA in short segments and compare each one against every ancient Steppe and Siberian genome using identical-by-state (IBS) segment matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.

ADMIXTURE Analysis

Advanced ADMIXTURE algorithms compare your genetic profile against reference populations across ancestral components, providing high resolution for Ancient Central Asia and Siberia genetic comparison.

Reference-fixed PCA

The fixed regional ADMIXTURE reference panel defines stable PCA axes; your kit is projected afterward without moving the reference samples.

Advanced Machine Learning

Your Ancient Central Asia Index is a panel-specific statistical similarity score weighting shared-segment evidence at 50%, ADMIXTURE distance at 31.25%, and Monte Carlo fit at 18.75%. It is not an ancestry percentage or proof of direct descent.

500+ Ancient Samples

Our reference panel includes samples from the Eurasian Steppe, Siberia, the Altai, and the Mongolian Plateau, spanning over 15,000 years of human history.

Built on evidence

Peer-Reviewed Sources

All ancient DNA samples come from peer-reviewed academic publications, with full citations and links provided in your report. Science you can trust.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

The report reveals your genetic connections to steppe and Siberian civilizations spanning 7,000 years. You receive a composite ancestry index, reference-fixed PCA analysis, haplogroup matches with ancient samples, and an interactive map showing where your genetic matches lived across the steppe.
Yes. The report includes genetic similarity analysis against the Yamnaya pastoralists who spread across the steppe, the Saka and Scythian warrior cultures, and later Turkic and Mongol populations. Your similarity to each period is quantified and visualized. These results describe statistical similarity to ancient reference individuals, not proof of direct descent or a specific family lineage.
Yes. The report includes the Medieval period with the Mongol Empire, Karakhanid dynasty, and Golden Horde. Your genetic connections to these transformative steppe empires are analyzed and displayed.
We support raw DNA data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, Living DNA, and Nebula Genomics. Upload your raw data file to receive your personalized Ancient Steppe & Siberia report.
Once your DNA data is uploaded and processed, your Ancient Steppe & Siberia report is typically ready within minutes. You will receive lifetime access to your results with no subscription required.
Yes. The report is designed to reveal genetic connections across the full span of Steppe & Siberian history, from the Botai horse domesticators to the Turkic khaganates and Mongol Golden Horde. It may be of particular interest if you are curious about Steppe & Siberian, Kazakh, or Uzbek connections. Results describe genetic similarity to ancient reference individuals, not proven family history.

Reading ancient and modern DNA since 2018

DNA Genics has been building ancestry and DNA analysis reports since 2018. Our reports come from years of work with our own reference panels, calculators and ancient-genome comparisons, developed and reviewed by our team. They are not generated on the fly or assembled as a side project. We use AI only in clearly labelled optional features.
