Admixture Calculator

Global Ancestry K30

**Global Ancestry K30** maps your autosomal DNA to 30 modeled ancestry components informed by 28 regional reference populations. It delivers a clear percentage breakdown across detailed global clusters (e.g., Mediterranean, Siberian, African, Native American, Oceanian), highlights fine-scale regional affinities, and places your genetic profile in historical and migratory context. Not a clinical test; ideal for genealogy and population study.

About This Calculator

**Global Ancestry K30 — What this calculator analyzes** This tool compares your autosomal DNA to a high-resolution global reference panel to estimate ancestry proportions across 30 modeled components informed by 28 regional reference populations. It quantifies how much of your genome matches genetic clusters such as **European Northwest, Mediterranean Western, Siberian East, African West, Native American Central**, and more. Results are expressed as proportional admixture percentages that reflect recent and deep ancestry signals. **Who it’s designed for** - Genetic genealogy enthusiasts and adoptees seeking regional origins - Anthropologists and students studying population structure - People curious about subtler Eurasian, African, Oceanian, and Native American affinities **Insights you’ll gain** - A percentage breakdown of ancestral components across global regions - Fine-scale separation of nearby groups (e.g., Mediterranean Eastern vs. Western; Siberian West vs. East) - Contextual interpretation linking genetic patterns to historical migrations and population contact **Historical and genetic context** Human populations are shaped by repeated migrations, local isolation, and admixture. This calculator situates your DNA within that tapestry — from ancient north–south and east–west gene flows in Eurasia, to Siberian contributions to Native American ancestries, to African regional structure and Oceanian signals. Reference populations were selected to capture geographic breadth and major demographic events that left distinct genetic footprints. **Why this calculator is valuable** - Provides a balanced, transparent view of ancestry using a diverse reference set - Useful for detecting subtle regional affinities that broader tests might miss - Acts as a starting point for deeper genealogical or academic inquiry Note: This is an ancestry-inference tool, not a clinical test. Interpretations reflect statistical similarity to reference groups and should be combine

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
