Admixture Calculator

Eurogenes K13

**Eurogenes K13 — Modern European admixture snapshot** A 13-component genetic calculator tailored for European ancestry. It compares your DNA to continental and regional reference groups (Baltic, East_Med, West_Med, North Atlantic, West_Asian, and more) to estimate proportional affinities. Ideal for genealogists, researchers, and history enthusiasts seeking a clear, interpretable overview of European genetic influences.

About This Calculator

**Eurogenes K13 — Modern European Admixture Calculator** Eurogenes K13 analyzes an individual's genome to estimate the proportionate contribution from 13 broad ancestry components relevant to modern Europe. Designed for hobbyist genealogists, population geneticists, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about their European roots, this calculator provides an interpretable snapshot of continental and subcontinental affinities. What it analyzes - Allele patterns are compared against 13 reference populations to produce percentage estimates of genetic affinity. Reference populations (K=13): - Amerindian - Baltic - East_Med - North Atlantic - Northeast_African - Oceanian - Red_Sea - Siberian - South_Asian - Southeast_Asian - Sub-Saharan - West_Asian - West_Med Insights you can gain - Relative contributions from Mediterranean, Atlantic, Baltic, and West Asian ancestries - Signals of northern European, southeastern (East_Med / West_Med), and steppe-related inputs (proxied by Baltic / North Atlantic) - Detection of minor inputs such as Siberian, Sub-Saharan, or Near Eastern components that reflect historical migration, trade, or recent admixture Historical and genetic context Eurogenes K13 synthesizes patterns shaped by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, Neolithic farmers from Anatolia and the Levant, Bronze Age steppe migrations, and later historical movements (Roman, Viking, Arab, and transcontinental trade). The 13-component model balances resolution and interpretability for continental-scale signals while flagging unexpected ancestries. Why this calculator is valuable - Clear, comparable percentages that map well to broad European population structure - Useful for cross-referencing genealogical records, archaeological hypotheses, or population studies - Fast, accessible output suitable for both newcomers and experienced users Interpretation notes Components are proxies, not direct nation-states. Results are model-dependent: reference choices and marker sets infl

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 13 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
