About This Calculator

**Michał Baltic Baikal Japanese K29 — Modern Admixture Calculator** This calculator analyzes autosomal DNA to estimate ancestry proportions across a finely tuned panel of Eurasian and neighboring populations. Built on a K29 framework with 28 carefully chosen reference groups, it resolves contributions from Baltic and Slavic Europe, Caucasus and Pontic regions, Central Asian and Turkic groups, Siberian/Baikal peoples, and East Asian populations (including Chinese and Japanese). Who it’s for: - Individuals worldwide wanting a detailed portrait of northern Eurasian and East Asian ancestry - Genealogists and family historians tracing regional origins - Population geneticists and hobbyists seeking finer resolution within Slavic, Uralic, Turkic and Siberian clines What insights you gain: - Percentage breakdown of ancestry from each reference group (e.g., Baltic, Russian_NSK, Tatar, Buryat, Japanese) - Detection of mixed signatures typical of historical movements (Uralic expansions, Turkic migrations, Mongolic/Siberian interactions, East Asian gene flow) - A clearer distinction between geographically close but genetically distinct sources (e.g., Adygei vs Abkhaz; Kazakh vs Uzbek) Historical and genetic context: - Northern Eurasia is a complex mosaic shaped by hunter-gatherer, Bronze Age, steppe pastoralist, Turkic, Mongolic and East Asian migrations. This calculator places modern genomes into that historical tapestry, showing how recent and ancient events combine to form present-day ancestry. Why it’s valuable: - Targets regions and populations that are underrepresented in broad commercial tests, giving sharper regional resolution across the Baltic-to-Baikal-to-Japanese transect. - Useful as a complementary tool alongside other analyses (haplogroups, segment dating) to build a fuller narrative of personal or population history. Limitations: - Results reflect modern reference groups and statistical models — they are approximations, not precise timelines. Interpret wit

Understanding Admixture Analysis

Learn how admixture calculators work and how to interpret your results

What is Admixture Analysis?

Admixture analysis is a method used to estimate your genetic ancestry by comparing your DNA to reference populations from around the world. Think of it as creating a recipe of your genetic makeup, where the ingredients are different ancestral populations.

This calculator uses 29 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

  • Your DNA is compared to 29 reference populations
  • Modern populations are used as genetic references
  • Results show your genetic similarity to these populations
  • More accurate with a diverse reference panel

Understanding Your Results

Your results will show percentages of genetic similarity to these reference populations. Remember these important points:

  • Results reflect genetic similarity, not direct ancestry
  • Modern populations are used as references
  • Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution
  • Results are estimates based on available reference data
