Mephisto K10
Mephisto K10 — A 10-component ancient-era admixture calculator that decomposes genomes into ancestry from Levant, Anatolia, Iran, early European farmers, steppe groups and South Caucasus clusters (Levant_N, Anatolia_N, Hungar_EN, LBK, Iran_N, Spain_EN, Sintashta, Armenia_CH, Steppes, Pre_CH_Armenia). Ideal for researchers, genealogists and enthusiasts exploring prehistoric migrations and admixture patterns.

Mephisto K10 — Ancient-era admixture calculator
This tool estimates how an individual's genome decomposes into ten ancient reference components spanning the Near East, Anatolia, Europe and the Steppe. It was trained on archeogenetic clusters from the Neolithic through Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, and reports relative ancestry proportions from: Levant_N, Anatolia_N, Hungar_EN, LBK, Iran_N, Spain_EN, Sintashta, Armenia_CH, Steppes, Pre_CH_Armenia.
What this calculator analyzes
- Genome-wide allele sharing against ten ancient populations representative of major prehistoric migrations and local continuities.
- Broad-scale admixture signals (e.g., farmer vs. steppe vs. Iranian-related inputs) and relative strengths of regional ancestries.
Who it's designed for
- Researchers, students, hobby genetic genealogists, museum professionals and anyone curious about how ancient demography shaped modern genomes.
- Suitable for global samples — modern or ancient — to place individuals on major prehistoric clines.
Insights you can gain
- Proportional ancestry from major ancient sources (Neolithic farmers, steppe pastoralists, Chalcolithic/early Bronze Age groups).
- Signals of migration, admixture timing hypotheses (when combined with other analyses), and regionally informative contrasts (e.g., Anatolian vs. Iranian vs. Levantine inputs).
Historical and genetic context
- Components represent key prehistoric processes: the spread of agriculture from Anatolia/Levant, local European Neolithic variation (LBK, Hungar_EN, Spain_EN), Iranian-related ancestry, and later steppe-derived movements (Sintashta/Steppe). Inclusion of Armenia_CH and Pre_CH_Armenia provides resolution in the South Caucasus and eastern Anatolian interactions.
Why Mephisto K10 is valuable
- Provides an interpretable, reproducible 10-way breakdown tailored to Ancient-era questions.
- Helps users visualize complex ancestry in an accessible format while linking patterns to archaeological migration mode

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 10 cuidadosamente seleccionadas ancient poblaciones como referencias para describir con detalle la similitud genética.
Cómo funciona
- Tu ADN se compara con 10 poblaciones de referencia
- Ancient 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
- Ancient se utilizan como referencias
- Los porcentajes indican contribuciones relativas en el modelo
- Los resultados son estimaciones basadas en los datos de referencia disponibles
