Eurogenes K14
Eurogenes K14 (Modern) is a 14-component admixture calculator that estimates your modern global ancestry using 14 geographically informed reference clusters. Designed for genealogists, adoptees, hobbyists and researchers, it highlights regional contributions—Europe, Africa, Asia and intermediary zones—providing clear proportional results and historical context to explore recent population mixing.

14 Reference Populations
Northeast_Euro - Represents ancestry from northeastern European populations, including those from the Baltic region, northern Russia, and surrounding areas. This component reflects genetic lineages that have been established in these northern European territories.
Sub-Saharan - Captures genetic ancestry from populations south of the Sahara Desert in Africa, encompassing the diverse ethnic groups across central, eastern, southern, and western sub-Saharan Africa.
Berber - Reflects ancestry from the indigenous Berber (Amazigh) populations of North Africa, primarily found across the Maghreb region including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and parts of Libya and Egypt.
South_Asian - Represents genetic ancestry from the Indian subcontinent, including populations from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and surrounding regions.
West_Euro - Captures ancestry from western European populations, including those from the British Isles, France, Iberian Peninsula, and adjacent western European regions.
Southeast_Asian - Reflects genetic ancestry from Southeast Asian populations, including those from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, and surrounding archipelagic and mainland regions.
South_Siberian - Represents ancestry from populations in southern Siberian regions, including areas around the Altai Mountains and southern parts of Siberia.
North_Asian - Captures genetic lineages from northern Asian populations, including those from northern Siberia and Arctic regions of Asia.
East_Siberian - Reflects ancestry from eastern Siberian populations, including indigenous groups from the far eastern regions of Siberia.
East_Asian - Represents ancestry from East Asian populations, including those from China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and surrounding regions.
East_Mediterranean - Captures genetic ancestry from eastern Mediterranean populations, including those from the Levant, Cyprus, and eastern Mediterranean coastal regions.
Middle_Eastern - Reflects ancestry from Middle Eastern populations, including those from the Arabian Peninsula, Mesopotamia, and surrounding Middle Eastern regions.
West_Asian - Represents genetic ancestry from western Asian populations, including those from Anatolia, the Caucasus, and adjacent western Asian regions.
Volga-Ural - Captures ancestry from populations in the Volga-Ural region, including Finno-Ugric and Turkic-speaking groups from the area between the Volga River and Ural Mountains.
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
