Admixture Calculator

Eurogenes K3

**Eurogenes K3** is a concise, modern-era admixture calculator that estimates three broad European ancestry components: **South_Baltic**, **North_Baltic**, and **Northwest_Euro**. Ideal for genealogists, students, and hobbyists, it gives clear percentage breakdowns to reveal northern vs. northwest European affinities and provide an accessible, interpretable snapshot of contemporary European genetic structure.

About This Calculator

**Eurogenes K3** is a modern-era, three-component autosomal admixture calculator designed to highlight broad-scale genetic structure across Europe. It evaluates a submitted genotype against three reference clusters — **South_Baltic**, **North_Baltic**, and **Northwest_Euro** — and reports proportional ancestry estimates that reflect contemporary regional affinities. What this calculator analyzes - Compares your autosomal SNP profile to a compact reference panel representing northern and northwestern European diversity. - Produces percentage breakdowns for the three components and shows how closely your genome aligns with each reference population. Who it's designed for - Genealogy enthusiasts seeking clearer regional signals within European ancestry. - Students and hobbyist population geneticists exploring coarse-grained structure. - Analysts wanting a lightweight, interpretable view of northern and northwest European affinities. Insights you can gain - Relative contribution of Baltic-influenced and northwest European genetic backgrounds in your genome. - A simple way to distinguish stronger northern Baltic vs. northwest European affinity in modern samples. - Comparative context for interpreting other multi-component admixture results. Historical and genetic context Europe’s genetic landscape is shaped by Paleolithic and postglacial recolonizations, Neolithic farmers, Bronze Age steppe movements, and later regional migrations. The Baltic region preserves distinctive allele frequencies that contrast with northwest European clusters formed by maritime, continental and long-term mixed populations. Eurogenes K3 leverages these modern frequency differences to provide a clear, interpretable snapshot of where a sample sits along this north–west/baltic axis. Why Eurogenes K3 is valuable - Fast and easy-to-interpret: three components keep results clear without overfitting. - Useful as a first-pass or complementary analysis alongside higher-resolution calculators. -

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

3 Reference Populations

South_Baltic

Description: This region primarily includes populations from countries like Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. Populations here have been significantly influenced by Slavic, Baltic, and Germanic ancestries, resulting in a rich blend of cultural and genetic backgrounds.

North_Baltic

Description: Encompassing areas such as Estonia and parts of Finland, populations from the North Baltic region are characterized by a combination of Fenno-Ugric and Baltic ancestries, with distinctive genetic markers that set them apart from their southern neighbors.

Northwest_Euro

Description: This region generally includes populations from nations such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and parts of Scandinavia. The Northwest European genetic landscape is shaped by Celtic, Norse, and Germanic ancestries, reflecting historical migrations and cultural exchanges.

Continent: Europe

Regions: South_Baltic, North_Baltic, Northwest_Euro

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
