About This Calculator

**Egy K3 — Modern Global Admixture Calculator** Egy K3 estimates an individual's genetic ancestry by comparing your genotype to a compact, globally representative reference panel of 11 well-characterized populations. Designed for modern-era samples from anywhere in the world, the calculator translates genotype data into intuitive ancestry proportions and affinity patterns. What it analyzes - Genome-wide allele frequency similarities against 11 reference groups: **CEU, TSI, GBR, FIN, YRI, LWK, MSL, CHB, JPT, GIH, CHS**. - Relative ancestry proportions across broad continental and regional clusters, highlighting Eurasian, African, South Asian, and East Asian contributions. Who it's for - Genetic genealogy hobbyists wanting clearer global ancestry signals. - Population-genetics students and researchers seeking quick comparative profiles. - Anyone curious about ancestral affinities across major modern populations. Insights you can gain - Estimated percentage contributions from reference populations and how your profile aligns with major historical migrations (e.g., Out-of-Africa dispersals, Eurasian admixture, Bantu expansions, South Asian/East Asian gene flow). - Visual and numeric summaries that make complex population relationships accessible. Historical and genetic context Egy K3 situates individual ancestry within broad human history: ancient African diversity, Holocene migrations across Eurasia, South Asian continuity, and more recent demographic events that left detectable signatures in modern genomes. By comparing to both European (CEU, TSI, GBR, FIN) and diverse African (YRI, LWK, MSL), East Asian (CHB, CHS, JPT) and South Asian (GIH) references, the calculator highlights continental-scale patterns while preserving regional nuance. Why this calculator is valuable - Compact but diverse reference panel enables clear, interpretable results for global users. - Fast, user-friendly output useful for hypothesis generation, teaching, and personal exploration

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

3 Reference Populations

European

CEU (Utah Residents with Northern and Western European Ancestry)
- Population: Primarily individuals of Northern and Western European descent, typically used as a reference for European genetic studies.
TSI (Tuscans in Italy)
- Population: Represents individuals from Tuscany, offering insights into Mediterranean and Southern European genetics.
GBR (British in England and Scotland)
- Population: Composed of individuals from the Great Britain region, particularly England and Scotland, highlighting genetic variations within the British Isles.
FIN (Finnish in Finland)
- Population: Individuals from Finland, notable for genetic distinctions influenced by historical isolation in Northern Europe.

African

YRI (Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria)
- Population: Represents the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria, providing insight into West African genetic diversity.
LWK (Luhya in Webuye, Kenya)
- Population: Represents the Luhya people in Kenya, serving as a reference for East African ancestry.
MSL (Mende in Sierra Leone)
- Population: Comprised of the Mende ethnic group in Sierra Leone, highlighting West African genetic variation.

Asian

CHB (Han Chinese in Beijing, China)
- Population: Represents the Han Chinese majority in Beijing, commonly used in studies of East Asian genetics.
JPT (Japanese in Tokyo, Japan)
- Population: Japanese individuals residing in Tokyo, providing insight into genetic features specific to Japan.
GIH (Gujarati Indians in Houston, Texas)
- Population: Gujarati Indians living in Houston, Texas, capturing South Asian ancestry.
CHS (Southern Han Chinese)
- Population: Represents the Southern Han Chinese, providing additional context for variations within the broader Han Chinese population.

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 3 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
