Admixture Calculator

Eurasia Ancient Near East K13

**Eurasia Ancient Near East K13** — An ancient-aware admixture calculator that breaks your DNA into 13 deep ancestry components (e.g., Anatolia_Neolithic, Iran_Neolithic, CHG, WHG/SHG, Siberian, SE Asian, Papuan, Karitiana, Sub-Saharan). Ideal for researchers and curious users worldwide, it reveals ancient migrations, farmer-forager mixes, and long-range gene flow shaping modern genomes.

About This Calculator

**Eurasia Ancient Near East K13 (Era: Ancient)** This calculator decomposes an individual's autosomal DNA into proportions of 13 ancient and deep ancestry components tied to Eurasia and neighboring regions. It is built from a curated panel representing Paleolithic, Neolithic, Mesolithic and remote hunter-gatherer sources to highlight the major ancestral threads that shaped Eurasian and global diversity. **What this analyzes** - Proportional contribution from 13 reference populations: SE_ASIAN, ANATOLIA_NEOLITHIC, CHG_EEF, POLAR, EHG, SUB_SAHARAN, IRAN_NEOLITHIC, KARITIANA, ANCESTRAL_INDIAN, NATUFIAN, SIBERIAN, PAPUAN, SHG_WHG. - Signals of ancient migrations, farmer/forager admixture, and distant non-Eurasian inputs that persisted into modern populations. **Who it's designed for** - Global audience: researchers, students, genealogists and ancestry enthusiasts who want an ancient-aware breakdown rather than only modern reference matches. **Insights you can gain** - Relative influence of Anatolian farmers, Iranian and CHG-related pastoralists, and European hunter-gatherers (WHG/SHG/EHG). - Traces of eastern Eurasian and Siberian inputs, Papuan/SE Asian affinities, and distant Amerindian or Sub-Saharan components where present. - Context for regional histories: the Neolithic agricultural expansion, Steppe-related movements, and long-range gene flow events. **Historical and genetic context** This model synthesizes well-studied ancient groups—Anatolia Neolithic farmers, Iran Neolithic agropastoralists, Caucasus hunter-gatherer (CHG)-related ancestry, European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers (WHG/SHG/EHG)—with broader global references to capture admixture footprints left by migrations, trade and isolation. **Why valuable** - Ancient-informed resolution: interprets modern genomes through the lens of deep ancestry. - Comparative: useful for cross-population studies and personal exploration of deep roots. **Caveats** - Outputs are model-based estimates dependent on refer

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

13 Reference Populations

Reference Panels

SE_ASIAN: Populations from Southeast Asia, encompassing diverse ethnic groups with rich cultural histories, often influenced by Indian and Chinese civilizations.
ANATOLIA_NEOLITHIC: Ancient populations from Anatolia during the Neolithic period, known for early farming and settled life.
CHG_EEF: Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer and Early European Farmer populations, key in spreading agriculture into Europe.
POLAR: Populations from Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, adapted to extremely cold environments.
EHG: Eastern European Hunter-Gatherers, with a lifestyle centered on hunting and gathering in Eastern Europe.
SUB_SAHARAN: Diverse groups from sub-Saharan Africa, characterized by significant genetic diversity and ancient lineages.
IRAN_NEOLITHIC: Early agricultural communities from the Iranian plateau, important for the spread of farming technologies.
KARITIANA: Indigenous people of the Amazon, specifically in Brazil, with distinct genetic profiles and cultural practices.
ANCESTRAL_INDIAN: Ancient populations contributing to the genetic makeup of modern Indian subcontinent's populations.
NATUFIAN: Epipaleolithic culture in the Levant, often regarded as precursors to the first farming societies.
SIBERIAN: Populations from Siberia, known for their adaptation to harsh climatic conditions and migratory patterns.
PAPUAN: Indigenous groups of Papua New Guinea and surrounding areas, unique in their genetic heritage and isolated development.
SHG_WHG: Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers and Western Hunter-Gatherers, early European populations pre-dating agricultural societies.

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 13 reference populations
Ancient 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
Ancient populations are used as references
Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution
Results are estimates based on available reference data
