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

Como interpretar a análise de mistura genética
Descubra como funcionam as calculadoras de mistura genética e como interpretar os resultados
O que é a análise de mistura genética?
A análise de mistura genética estima a semelhança genética comparando o seu DNA com populações de referência de diferentes partes do mundo. Os componentes do modelo representam essas referências e dependem dos dados e pressupostos utilizados.
Esta calculadora utiliza 10 cuidadosamente seleccionadas ancient populações como referências para descrever detalhadamente a semelhança genética.
Como funciona
- Tu DNA se compara con 10 poblaciones de referencia
- Ancient se utilizan como referencias genéticas
- Os resultados mostram a sua semelhança genética com estas populações
- A diversidade do painel de referência influencia as estimativas
Como interpretar seus resultados
Os resultados mostram percentagens de similaridade genética com estas populações de referência. Tenha presente estes pontos:
- Os resultados reflectem a semelhança genética, não ascendência directa demonstrada
- Ancient se utilizan como referencias
- As percentagens indicam contribuições relativas no modelo
- Os resultados são estimativas baseadas nos dados de referência disponíveis
