LM Genetics K12

LM Genetics K12 — Global 12‑way Admixture Calculator

This calculator decomposes a DNA sample into twelve modern reference components to reveal broad ancestry signals and recent admixture patterns. It analyzes autosomal variation and reports proportional contributions from: Central‑Amerindian, South‑Amerindian, NE‑Euro, SW‑Euro, West‑African, Khoisan, Siberian, SE‑Asian, Kalash‑Caucasian, SW‑Asian, South‑Indian, and Papuo‑Melanesian.

Who it’s for

• Global users curious about multi‑regional ancestry
• Genealogists and hobby geneticists seeking comparative breakdowns
• Researchers and students needing a clear, 12‑component overview

What you learn

• Percent contributions of each reference population to your autosomal profile
• Relative affinities that reflect recent and deeper admixture events
• Geographic and historical cues (e.g., Eurasian steppe, Austronesian signal, African and Amerindian traces)

Context and interpretation The K12 model is a modern, simplified framework: components represent contemporary reference clusters rather than single ancient populations. Signals can reflect complex histories—migrations, trade, and population blends—so a given percentage indicates genetic affinity, not a precise cultural or ethnic label. Overlap between neighboring groups and shared ancestry older than the resolution of this model can blur distinctions.

Why this calculator is valuable

• Provides a clear, comparable 12‑way snapshot useful for cross‑sample comparisons and exploratory analysis
• Helps identify unexpected regional affinities and guides deeper investigation with targeted tests or historical research
• Balances accessibility for non‑specialists with informative output for experienced users

Caveats Not a clinical test: interpretations should be combined with genealogical records and additional genetic analyses. Results depend on reference sampling and model assumptions.
