Mephisto K15
Mephisto K15 — Global ancestry breakdown
A modern, 15-component admixture calculator that decomposes your autosomal DNA against global reference clusters (Mediterranean, Mozabite, Arabia, W_Africa, Omotic, Arctic, E_Asia, Khomani, Europe, Papuan, S_Asia, Caucasus, Siberia, E_Africa, SE_Asia). Ideal for individuals, genealogists, and researchers seeking clear, comparative insights into recent and deep ancestry, migration signals, and regional affinities.

Mephisto K15 — Modern Global Admixture Calculator
Mephisto K15 analyzes an individual's genome to estimate ancestry proportions across 15 modern reference populations. Using allele-frequency contrasts representative of major continental and regional genetic clines, it decomposes your genetic profile into interpretable components and visualizes how recent and deep ancestry contributions combine.
Who it's for
- Individuals curious about global ancestry patterns
- Geneticists, genealogists, and population-history enthusiasts
- People with complex, mixed heritage who want regional resolution
What it analyzes
- Autosomal SNP data compared to 15 reference clusters: Mediterranean, Mozabite, Arabia, W_Africa (West Africa), Omotic, Arctic, E_Asia (East Asia), Khomani, Europe, Papuan, S_Asia (South Asia), Caucasus, Siberia, E_Africa (East Africa), SE_Asia (Southeast Asia).
Insights you will gain
- Percentage breakdown of genetic ancestry across these regions
- Relative affinities that point to recent admixture versus deep shared ancestry
- Clues about migration, trade, and demographic events that shaped your genetic makeup
Context and value Human populations are the product of waves of migration, isolation, and mixture. Mephisto K15 places your DNA within that tapestry: Mediterranean and Caucasus signals often track west–east Eurasian exchanges; Mozabite and Omotic capture North African and Horn of Africa variation; Papuan, Arctic, and Siberian components indicate ancient dispersals into extreme environments. By combining broad continental groups with region-specific references, this calculator balances sensitivity and interpretability.
Why use Mephisto K15?
- Clear, comparative breakdown across 15 meaningful clusters
- Designed for global coverage and modern reference sampling
- Useful for personal exploration, research cross-checks, and hypothesis generation about ancestry
Interpret results as probabilistic signals influenced by reference choi

什么是“混合分析”?
混合分析是用来通过将你的DNA与来自世界各地的参考人群进行比较来估计你的基因祖先的一种方法。 把它看作是创造了你的基因化妆的食谱, 即成分是不同的祖先种群。
此计算器使用 15 仔细选择 modern 作为参考,可以详细分解您的遗传遗产。
如何运作
- 将您的 DNA 与 15 个参考人群进行比较
- 以 Modern 人群作为遗传参考
- 结果显示你的基因与这些种群相似
- 使用不同的参考面板更准确
了解你的成果
您的研究结果将显示与这些参考人群的遗传相似性的百分比。请记住这些要点:
- 结果反映了遗传相似性,而不是直接祖先
- Modern populations are used as references
- 表明相对遗传贡献的百分比
- 结果是根据现有参考数据作出的估计数
