HGDP K12
HGDP K12 estimates your genetic ancestry using a 12‑component model built on HGDP reference populations. It delivers proportional ancestry signals tied to global groups (West/East Africa, Near East, South/Central/Southeast Asia, East Asia, Europe, the Americas, Oceania), useful for researchers, genealogists, and curious individuals seeking accessible, contextualized insight into population history and admixture.

Acerca de esta calculadora
The HGDP K12 calculator estimates an individual’s genetic ancestry by comparing their genotype to a curated set of global reference populations derived from the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP). Using a 12-component clustering model tailored for modern populations, it quantifies proportional ancestry signals tied to geographically and historically meaningful groups — for example Gambian and Esan (West Africa), Luhya (East Africa), Bedouin (Near East), Irula (South India), Kalash (Central/South Asia), Dai and Japanese (East Asia), Finn (Northern Europe), Karitiana (Native American) and Papuan (Oceania) — plus broad “African (Continent)” representation. The calculator is designed for a worldwide audience: geneticists, population historians, genealogy enthusiasts, students, and curious individuals who want a clearer picture of deep and recent biogeographic ancestry.
Outputs are proportional estimates that highlight major ancestral components in a person’s genome and show how those components map onto historical migrations, population structure, and regional admixture. Users gain insight into continental and subcontinental affinities, detect traces of ancient gene flow (e.g., Eurasian–African exchanges), and compare personal results to known population signatures. The tool contextualizes findings with plain-language explanations so both technical and nontechnical users can interpret results responsibly.
Like all admixture tools, the HGDP K12 model provides probabilistic estimates rather than definitive “labels.” Results depend on the chosen reference set and model assumptions; shared ancestry, recent admixture, genetic drift, and limited reference sampling can blur component boundaries. Despite these limits, this calculator is valuable because it combines a well-documented HGDP reference framework with an intuitive K=12 breakdown, making it useful for exploratory research, teaching, or personal discovery. It helps translate complex population genetics into action

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 12 cuidadosamente seleccionadas modern poblaciones como referencias para describir con detalle la similitud genética.
Cómo funciona
- Tu ADN se compara con 12 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
