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 20 carefully selected modern and ancient populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 20 reference populations
- Modern populations are used as references
- Results show your genetic similarity to these populations
Understanding Your Results
Your results will show percentages of genetic similarity to these reference populations. Remember:
- Results reflect genetic similarity, not direct ancestry
- Modern and ancient populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
