Admixture Calculator

Global Ancestry K32 without jewish populations

**Global Ancestry K32 (without Jewish populations)** — a modern K=32 admixture calculator using 31 regional reference populations across Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. It provides fine-grained autosomal ancestry proportions, reveals regional admixture signals and historical influences, and is designed for genealogists, researchers, and ancestry enthusiasts. Results are probabilistic and best interpreted with historical and genealogical context.

About This Calculator

**Global Ancestry K32 (without Jewish populations)** — a modern-era, 32-cluster admixture model tuned for worldwide comparisons. This calculator compares your genotype to a curated panel of 31 regional reference populations spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas to estimate ancestral proportions and reveal fine-scale continental and subcontinental signals. What this analyzes - Autosomal ancestry proportions across 32 inferred clusters derived from 31 named reference populations (e.g., Central African, West African, East Asian, South Asian, West Asian, Balkan, Scandinavian, Native American, Papuan/Melanesian, Amazonian, etc.). - Patterns of recent admixture and deeper population structure that reflect migrations, isolation, and historical contact. Who it's designed for - Genealogists and ancestry enthusiasts seeking finer regional resolution than broad continental tests. - Population geneticists and educators who want an accessible visualization of modern global diversity. - Anyone curious about mixed heritage, recent migrations, or regional affinities. Insights you can gain - Percentage estimates of ancestry tied to specific regional clusters. - Signals of historical events (e.g., Bantu expansion, Eurasian steppe influence, Austronesian dispersals, European colonial admixture, Native American population structure). - How your genetic profile compares to contemporary reference groups and which regions contributed most to your autosomal DNA. Context & limitations - The model reflects modern reference samples; clusters are statistical constructs, not strict ethnic labels. - Jewish-specific clusters were intentionally excluded; consequently Levantine or Mediterranean ancestry may map to neighboring West Asian, Middle Eastern, or Southern European components. - Results are probabilistic and influenced by reference coverage and sample size. Use alongside genealogical records and uniparental tests for a fuller picture. Why this calculator is valu

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 32 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
