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.

Cómo interpretar el análisis de mezcla genética
Descubre cómo funcionan las calculadoras de mezcla genética y cómo interpretar los resultados
¿Qué es el análisis de mezcla genética?
El análisis de mezcla genética estima la similitud genética comparando tu ADN con poblaciones de referencia de distintas partes del mundo. Los componentes del modelo representan esas referencias y dependen de los datos y supuestos utilizados.
Esta calculadora utiliza 23 cuidadosamente seleccionadas modern poblaciones como referencias para describir con detalle la similitud genética.
Cómo funciona
- Tu ADN se compara con 23 poblaciones de referencia
- Modern se utilizan como referencias genéticas
- Los resultados muestran tu similitud genética con estas poblaciones
- La diversidad del panel de referencia influye en las estimaciones
Cómo interpretar tus resultados
Los resultados muestran porcentajes de similitud genética con estas poblaciones de referencia. Ten presentes estos puntos:
- Los resultados reflejan similitud genética, no ascendencia directa demostrada
- Modern se utilizan como referencias
- Los porcentajes indican contribuciones relativas en el modelo
- Los resultados son estimaciones basadas en los datos de referencia disponibles
