Admixture Calculator

Global Ancestry K11

**Global Ancestry K11** provides an 11‑component autosomal admixture profile against modern reference clusters (African, European, Gedrosia, Semitic, East/Southeast/Tibet/Northeast Asian, Mongol_Turkic, Central‑Siberian, NativeAmerican‑EastSiberian). Ideal for genealogy, education, and population studies, it translates genome‑wide SNP data into clear regional ancestry proportions with historical context and practical caveats.

About This Calculator

**Global Ancestry K11 — Modern 11‑component admixture calculator** This calculator analyzes genome‑wide autosomal variation and estimates the proportional ancestry of an individual against 11 modern reference clusters: African, Central‑Siberian, EastAsian, European, Gedrosia, Mongol_Turkic, NativeAmerican‑EastSiberian, NortheastAsian, Semitic, SoutheastAsian, and Tibetan. Using dense SNP data, it quantifies how much of your genome best matches each reference component and places those proportions in a geographic and historical context. Who it’s for - Genetic genealogy enthusiasts seeking a detailed regional breakdown - Researchers and students exploring broad population structure - Anyone with consumer genotype data who wants a clear, comparative profile of continental and subcontinental affinities What you gain - A percentage breakdown across 11 biologically and historically informed components - Insights into deep and recent ancestry signals (e.g., Eurasian steppe, East Asian, Semitic, Native American connections) - Context about likely migration and admixture events suggested by component mixtures Historical and genetic context Each component reflects aggregated allele frequencies shaped by major human movements: Out‑of‑Africa legacy in the African component; Eurasian mixing captured by European, Gedrosia (ancient Iranian/Indus‑related signal), and Mongol_Turkic influences; East and Northeast Asian clines including Tibetan and Mongol_Turkic adaptive histories; Semitic gene flow across the Levant and Arabia; and the NativeAmerican‑EastSiberian signature tracing Beringian migrations. Why this calculator matters Global Ancestry K11 turns complex genotype data into an interpretable, comparative profile that highlights both continental affiliations and finer regional pulses of admixture. It is a useful first step for hypothesis generation, comparative studies, and personal discovery. Important caveats Results are model‑based and depend on reference sampling and

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

11 Reference Populations

African: Populations from the African continent, characterized by high genetic diversity and long historical continuity.
Central-Siberian: Indigenous groups inhabiting central regions of Siberia, known for their adaptation to harsh climates.
EastAsian: Populations primarily from countries like China, Japan, and Korea, with a rich history of ancient civilizations.
European: Diverse populations across Europe, with distinct genetic lineages influenced by various historical migrations.
Gedrosia: Refers to ancient populations spanning parts of Iran and Pakistan, known for historical trade and migration routes.
Mongol_Turkic: Populations with Mongolic and Turkic roots, historically found across Central Asia.
NativeAmerican-EastSiberian: Indigenous groups originating from the Americas and Eastern Siberia, sharing ancient migratory ancestry.
NortheastAsian: Includes populations from regions such as Mongolia, Eastern Russia, and parts of Northern China.
Semitic: Refers to populations from the Middle East, with languages and cultures stemming from ancient Semitic origins.
SoutheastAsian: Populations from countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, known for diverse cultures and maritime history.
Tibetan: Populations native to Tibet and surrounding high-altitude regions, adapted to their unique environment.

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 11 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 11 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
