Egy K7 — ModernAncient 7-way Admixture Calculator

Egy K7 is a focused admixture calculator that decomposes an individual's genome into seven broad ancestry components using a mix of modern and ancient reference populations. It is built to highlight deep population structure and large-scale migration signals by comparing samples from anywhere in the world against seven informative reference groups:

• Amerindian — Indigenous peoples of the Americas
• WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherers) — Pleistocene–Holocene European foragers
• African — Sub-Saharan African ancestry clade
• Near_East — Levantine and Anatolian-related Near Eastern ancestry
• Iran_N — Neolithic Iranian farmer-related ancestry
• Oceanian — Papuan and other Melanesian/Oceanian ancestries
• East_Eurasian — East Asian and related northern Eurasian ancestries

What this calculator analyzes

• Computes proportional contributions from the seven reference clusters to a test genome, producing a clear, comparable admixture profile.
• Emphasizes ancient-to-modern continuity and major prehistoric influxes (e.g., Neolithic farming expansions, Pleistocene hunter-gatherer heritage, transcontinental migrations).

Who it’s designed for

• Researchers and students seeking a compact, interpretable 7-component view of ancestry.
• Enthusiastic genetic genealogy users curious about broad, deep-time ancestry signals.
• Anyone wanting a global-context snapshot that balances ancient and modern reference signals.

Insights you can gain

• Relative weights of broad ancestral streams shaping an individual's genome.
• Signals of regional continuity (e.g., high Iran_N or Near_East in West Asia) or long-range contact (Amerindian/Oceanian/East_Eurasian traces).
• A baseline for further, more fine-grained analyses.

Why Egy K7 is valuable

• Offers an accessible, interpretable 7-way model that captures major prehistoric and geographic structure without overfitting.
• Useful as a teaching tool and a quick fi
