Geno MENA K14

Geno MENA K14 — ModernAncient Admixture Calculator

Geno MENA K14 analyzes your genotype against a curated panel of 14 reference groups spanning ancient and modern populations to reveal deep ancestral structure across West Eurasia, North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and adjacent regions. The calculator estimates proportional ancestry from farming, herding and hunter–gatherer source groups, regional hunter-gatherer clines, and trans-regional influences such as Sub-Saharan and East Asian inputs.

Who this is for

• Genetic genealogy enthusiasts, researchers and students exploring population history
• People with ancestry from the Middle East, North Africa, Caucasus, Anatolia, Iran and South Asia
• Anyone curious about how ancient migrations and local admixture shaped modern genomes

What it measures

• Relative contribution from 14 reference populations:
  • Anatolian_Farmers, MidEast_Early_Farmers, MidEast_Herders
  • WestEuropean_HG, SubSaharan_South, SubSaharan_North
  • Caucasian_HG, North_Eurasian, North_African_HG
  • Iranian_HG, South_Asian, East_Asian
  • EastEuropean_HG, Kalasha_Herders
• Proportions reflect similarity to these source clusters, highlighting farmer/herder/forager and regional ancestry components

Historical and genetic context The MENA region and surrounding zones have been crossroads of Neolithic farming spread, Bronze Age migrations, steppe and highland pastoralist movements, and long-distance gene flow. By combining ancient and modern reference panels, Geno MENA K14 helps disentangle layered admixture signals—e.g., Anatolian farmer vs. Iranian highland vs. Caucasus contributions—and detect peripheral influences like Sub-Saharan or East Asian gene flow.

Why it’s valuable

• Offers fine-grained, interpretable ancestry breakdown tailored to the MENA–Eurasian interface
• Useful for framing personal or regional genetic histories in archaeological and historical terms
• Clear visual and numerical outputs that support foll
