Admixture Calculator

GedrosiaDNA Eurasia K14

**GedrosiaDNA Eurasia K14** is a 14-component admixture calculator that breaks your DNA into global and Eurasian ancestry proportions using well-chosen reference proxies (Kalash, Steppe, SW Asian, NE European, SE Asian, Papuan, Sub-Saharan, and more). Ideal for genealogists and researchers, it highlights deep and recent admixture signals, reveals regional signatures, and helps interpret migration and contact histories. Results are model-based proxies, not definitive ancestors.

About This Calculator

**GedrosiaDNA Eurasia K14** is a 14-component admixture calculator that decomposes a tested genome into ancestry proportions using geographically and genetically informative reference groups. It is designed to give a broad, interpretable portrait of global and Eurasian ancestry by combining deep regional signatures (e.g., Steppe, SW Asian, NE European) with more isolated or distinctive proxies (e.g., Kalash, Papuan). What this calculator analyzes - Proportional ancestry across 14 reference populations: **Kalash, SE Asian, Siberian, S Indian, Papuan, SW European, N Amerindian, Steppe, Pygmy, NE Asian, Sub-Saharan, SW Asian, NE European, S Amerindian**. - Relative contributions that reflect both ancient population structure (e.g., Steppe vs. SW Asian inputs) and recent regional admixture (e.g., SE Asian vs. NE Asian components). Who it's designed for - Individuals seeking detailed, cross-continental ancestry breakdowns. - Amateur and professional genetic genealogists, population geneticists, and historians exploring migration patterns and admixture. - Anyone wanting to place their DNA within broad Eurasian and global contexts. Insights you can gain - Detection of continental and regional ancestry proportions (e.g., Steppe-derived, Southwest Asian, Siberian, or Oceanian signals). - Identification of uncommon or focal signatures (e.g., Kalash-like ancestry) that can indicate specialized regional histories. - Comparative perspective on how your profile aligns with populations across Eurasia, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania. Historical and genetic context This model uses modern reference proxies to approximate historical ancestries. Components like "Steppe" capture gene flow associated with Bronze Age movements, while SW Asian and NE European traces reflect long-term demographic structure and later migrations. Isolated proxies (Kalash, Pygmy, Papuan) help flag regionally distinctive ancestry. Why this calculator is valuable - Broad geographic coverage lets you

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 14 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
