Admixture Calculator

Eurogenes K15

**Eurogenes K15 — compact, modern global admixture** A K=15 admixture model that breaks your genome into proportions based on 41 contemporary reference populations worldwide. Ideal for ancestry enthusiasts and researchers, it highlights Eurasian substructure, African, Oceanian, and Native American affinities, and reveals signals of historical migration. Reference‑dependent and interpretive—use with other evidence for best insight.

About This Calculator

**Eurogenes K15 — Modern global admixture calculator** Eurogenes K15 analyzes your genome by partitioning it into 15 genetic clusters anchored to 41 modern reference populations from across the world. Designed in the modern era for a global audience, it is aimed at ancestry enthusiasts, population geneticists, and anyone curious about the deep population structure that shaped present-day genomes. **What it analyzes** - Proportional genetic ancestry across 15 optimized components derived from contemporary reference groups (European, Near Eastern, Caucasus, South Asian, Central and East Asian, African, Oceanian, and Native American). - Subtle Eurasian structure using populations such as Basques, Sardinians, Estonians and Georgians. - Non‑Eurasian affinities using references like Yoruba, Mandenka, Papuan, Melanesian and Native American groups. **Who it's for** - Hobbyists and genealogists seeking a richer picture beyond continental labels. - Researchers needing a compact, interpretable K=15 view for comparative analyses. - People curious about biogeographic affinities across Eurasia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. **Insights you can gain** - Percentage breakdown of genome-wide affinities to modern reference clusters. - Signals of historical migrations and admixture (e.g., Mediterranean, Caucasus, South Asian, Steppe, East Asian, African, Oceanian, Native American contributions). - How your profile compares to diverse modern populations. **Context & value** - Built from 41 strategically chosen references (e.g., Basques, Sardinians, Lebanese groups, Balochis, Ethiopians, Papuans, Yoruba, Native American groups), Eurogenes K15 acts as a practical lens for understanding modern genetic structure and past population interactions. **Caveats** - Results are reference‑dependent and probabilistic; they describe affinities, not genealogical certainty. Interpret alongside archaeological, historical, and genealogical evidence for best results. Eurogenes K15 is valuable f

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 15 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
