Dodecad BAT (Balkan, Anatolia, Turkic) 3 — Modern admixture calculator

This calculator estimates the proportions of three broad, modern ancestry components—Balkan, Anatolian, and Turkic—in an individual's autosomal DNA. Built for people, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in population structure across Southeast Europe and Anatolia, it translates genome-wide markers into clear, comparative ancestry fractions.

What it analyzes:

• Genome-wide allele frequencies compared against three reference clusters representing contemporary Balkan, Anatolian, and Turkic genetic variation.
• Relative contributions of each cluster to your genome, highlighting recent admixture signals typical of the modern era.

Who it's for:

• Individuals from or with heritage in the Balkans, Turkey, Cyprus, the Caucasus and adjacent regions.
• Geneticists, historians, and genealogists studying migration, cultural contact, and demographic change in Southeast Europe and western Asia.

Insights users can gain:

• Quantified ancestry proportions that reflect recent historical interactions (e.g., migrations, trade, imperial expansions).
• A regional context for personal results—how your profile compares to typical Balkan, Anatolian, and Turkic mixtures.
• A starting point for deeper research into historical events that shaped regional genetic landscapes.

Context and value:

• The calculator situates genetic ancestry alongside well-known historical processes—population movements across the Balkans, the long-term continuity in Anatolia, and Turkic dispersals—while emphasizing that language and culture do not map one-to-one onto genes.
• Valuable for personal exploration, academic comparison, and teaching, it offers a concise, interpretable snapshot of recent admixture.

Limitations:

• Simplifies continuous variation into three reference clusters; results are probabilistic and depend on reference choices. Interpret with care and, when possible, combine with other data sources for a fu
