Global Ancestry K42
Modern World K42 is a curated global admixture calculator that compares your DNA to 42 reference populations. It provides modern-era ancestry proportions across Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas, revealing migration signals (Bantu, Indo-European, Austronesian, Silk Road, colonial-era admixture) and offering fine-grained regional insights for genealogists, adoptees and researchers. Probabilistic—interpret alongside other evidence.

Acerca de esta calculadora
Modern World K42 is a curated admixture calculator that estimates the modern ancestral composition of a DNA sample by comparing it to 42 carefully chosen reference populations from around the globe. Designed for genealogists, adoptees, ancestry enthusiasts, students and population researchers, this tool transforms genotype data into clear proportional affinities across major regions — Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South and Central Asia, East and Southeast Asia, Oceania and the Americas — with fine-grained subregional resolution.
What it analyzes: Modern World K42 quantifies how much your DNA resembles each reference population (for example: Northern Africa, Balochistan, Anatolia and the Caucasus, Southeast Asia Austronesian, Melanesia, Native American Andean, and many European subgroups). The calculator highlights mixture signals that reflect recent and ancient migrations, such as Bantu expansions, North African and Near Eastern exchanges, Neolithic farmer and Indo-European impacts in Europe, Silk Road and Central Asian gene flow, Austronesian dispersals across Island Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and colonial-era admixture in the Americas.
What you can learn: proportional ancestry estimates, primary regional affinities, and subtle secondary signals that suggest historical contacts or recent admixture. Results are useful for constructing hypotheses about family origins, guiding further genealogical research, or informing more detailed population studies.
Why it’s valuable: The 42 reference populations are curated to balance geographic breadth and resolution, focusing on modern-era signatures that are relevant to contemporary genealogical questions. The interface emphasizes transparent, interpretable outputs and encourages responsible use: admixture estimates are probabilistic, depend on reference composition, and do not identify individuals’ specific ancestors. For best interpretation, combine admixture results with documentary genealogy, uniparental marker

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 42 cuidadosamente seleccionadas modern poblaciones como referencias para describir con detalle la similitud genética.
Cómo funciona
- Tu ADN se compara con 42 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
