About This Calculator

**Global Ancestry K7 — Modern 7-way admixture calculator** **What this calculator analyzes** Global Ancestry K7 uses genome-wide allele profiles to estimate an individual's proportional ancestry across seven broad reference components: **AMERINDIAN‑SIBERIAN**, **EAST‑ASIAN**, **SOUTHEAST‑ASIAN**, **NORTH‑EAST‑EUROPEAN**, **AFRICAN**, **SOUTH‑EUROPEAN**, and **SOUTH‑WEST‑ASIAN**. It models shared genetic drift and clustering patterns in modern and prehistorical populations to provide interpretable fractional ancestry estimates. **Who it's designed for** - Individuals worldwide seeking a high-level, interpretable view of biogeographic ancestry - Genealogy enthusiasts cross-checking family history against genetic signals - Researchers and students needing a compact, modern 7-way reference for comparative analyses **Insights you can gain** - Proportionate ancestry breakdown across seven continental/subcontinental axes - Detection of major admixture components consistent with migration and contact events - Contextual clues for recent vs. deep ancestral contributions when combined with dates or regional data **Historical and genetic context** These seven components reflect major population clusters shaped by Out‑of‑Africa dispersals, Holocene farming and steppe expansions, Indigenous peopling of the Americas and Siberia, and long histories of transcontinental contact (trade, migration, and conquest). The model simplifies a complex genomic landscape into actionable categories while preserving signals that map to well‑documented population histories. **Why this calculator is valuable** - Balances clarity and resolution: more informative than broad continental categories, yet more accessible than dozens of micro‑clusters - Useful as a comparative tool across personal, genealogical, and academic projects - Helps translate genomic data into a narrative that connects personal ancestry to global human history Use this calculator as a starting point: combine results wi

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

7 Reference Populations

AMERINDIAN-SIBERIAN:
- Represents the shared genetic ancestry between Native American populations (Amerindian) and indigenous Siberian groups. Reflects migrations across the Bering Strait and ancient links between the Americas and Eurasia.
EAST-ASIAN:
- Populations of East Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Mongolic groups. Known for genetic homogeneity and ties to ancient agricultural civilizations.
SOUTHEAST-ASIAN:
- Populations from Southeast Asia, including Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, and Austroasiatic-speaking groups. Also encompasses Austronesian-speaking island populations, reflecting diverse genetic contributions from mainland and maritime sources.
NORTH-EAST-EUROPEAN:
- Populations from the northeastern regions of Europe, including Finnic, Baltic, and Slavic groups. Reflects Uralic and Indo-European influences, with genetic links to both Siberia and Western Europe.
AFRICAN:
- Broad genetic cluster encompassing populations from sub-Saharan Africa. Includes diverse ethnic groups with deep ancestral lineages, such as Bantu, Nilotic, and hunter-gatherer groups.
SOUTH-EUROPEAN:
- Populations from southern Europe, including Mediterranean groups such as Italians, Greeks, and Iberians. Reflects genetic influences from Neolithic farmers, ancient civilizations, and historical migrations.
SOUTH-WEST-ASIAN:
- Populations from Southwest Asia, encompassing the Arabian Peninsula, Levant, and parts of Mesopotamia. Known as a historical crossroads for early human migrations and cultural exchanges between Africa, Asia, and Europe.

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 7 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
