Admixture Calculator

Delphi Global K30

**Delphi Global K30 — 29-component worldwide admixture** High-resolution autosomal admixture that estimates ancestry across 29 modern reference populations spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. Designed for genealogists, students and researchers who want a global, interpretable breakdown of regional genetic affinities and migration-informed signals. Results are probabilistic affinities, best used alongside records and other tests.

About This Calculator

**Delphi Global K30 — Modern, world-scale admixture at 30-way resolution** This calculator analyzes an individual's autosomal DNA and estimates ancestry proportions across 29 modern reference populations, providing a fine-grained, globally oriented admixture profile. It combines populations from Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas (e.g., Cushitic, Niger–Congo, Khoisan, Gedrosia, Scandic, Mediterranean East, Arabian, Native American North/South, Oceania) to reveal regional affinities and layered genetic signals. Who it's for: - Genetic genealogy hobbyists seeking deeper regional breakdowns - Students and educators exploring human population structure - Researchers and clinicians who need a quick comparative view What you gain: - Percent breakdown across 29 contemporary reference clusters - Clues about recent and deep ancestry (e.g., steppe/Gedrosia-like, East Asian, African hunter-gatherer signals) - Insight into admixture consistent with migrations, trade networks, colonial histories and indigenous continuity - A practical starting point to compare results with other calculators or ancient-DNA studies Context & interpretation: These reference clusters reflect modern population structure informed by geography, language families, and known migration events. Some components represent recent ethno-linguistic groups (e.g., Germanic, Dravidian), others capture older or regionally diffuse ancestries (e.g., Gedrosia, Siberian). Results are probabilistic estimates, not absolute assignments — overlapping signals and historical admixture mean percentages are best read as affinities, not passports. Why it’s valuable: - Broad, world-wide coverage in a single report - Balanced resolution for both continental and subcontinental patterns - Useful for hypothesis generation, educational demonstrations, and complementing genealogical records Use responsibly: combine with pedigree, historical records, and other genetic evidence for the clearest picture of your ancestry

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 30 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
