Global Ancestry K39 without jewish populations

**Global Ancestry K39 (without Jewish populations)** — A high-resolution modern admixture calculator that estimates proportional ancestry against 35 global reference populations. Ideal for users worldwide who want detailed regional breakdowns (Africa, Europe, Asia, Americas) and comparative affinity scores, while excluding Jewish-specific reference clusters. Sensitive, scientific, and designed for exploration, not medical diagnosis.

About This Calculator

**Global Ancestry K39 (without Jewish populations)** This calculator is a high-resolution, modern-era admixture model designed to estimate the proportional ancestry of individuals against a broad, globally distributed set of reference populations — with Jewish-specific reference groups intentionally excluded. "K39" denotes a 39-component labeling strategy that provides fine-scale resolution across continents using contemporary population panels. What it analyzes - Proportional ancestry across diverse regional components (Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas). - Affinity and similarity to 35 curated reference populations such as West African, East African, Basque, Scandinavian, Han Chinese, Japanese, Native American subgroups, South Asian clusters, Middle Eastern groups, and more. - High-resolution signals that highlight recent and ancient admixture patterns visible in modern genomes. Who this is for - Individuals worldwide seeking a detailed, population-level breakdown of their genetic ancestry. - Researchers and genealogists wanting a comparative tool that emphasizes broad global structure without Jewish reference clusters. - Users interested in regional affinities, not medical or identity determinations. Insights you can gain - Percentage breakdowns of ancestral contributions from specific regions and populations. - Identification of mixed heritage signals and likely continental/regional sources. - A contextual view of how modern populations relate genetically across Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas. Historical and genetic context Human genetic variation reflects migration, isolation, and mixing over millennia. This model captures both deep population structure (e.g., hunter-gatherer and Eurasian lineages) and recent gene flow between neighboring regions (e.g., Mediterranean, South Asian, and African coastal exchanges). Why this calculator is valuable - Provides clear, interpretable ancestry proportions with high geographic detail. - Useful for comparati

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

How It Works

  • Your DNA is compared to 39 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
