Admixture Calculator

Harappaworld

**Harappaworld — Modern global admixture calculator** Decompose your genome against a curated 16-population panel (e.g., S-Indian, Baloch, NE-Euro, Papuan, San, W-African, Beringian). Harappaworld provides quantitative ancestry proportions, highlights migration-related signals, and contextualizes modern DNA within global population history—designed for researchers, genealogists, and curious users seeking clear, high-resolution ancestry insights.

About This Calculator

**Harappaworld — Global Admixture Calculator (Modern Era)** Harappaworld analyzes the proportional genetic ancestry of modern individuals against a broad, internationally curated panel of 16 reference populations. Using allele-frequency‑based admixture modeling, this calculator decomposes a genome into recognizable regional components to reveal the mosaic of recent and deep ancestral contributions. Who it's for - Researchers, genetic genealogists, educators, and curious individuals seeking high-resolution, global context for modern genomes. - People with complex mixed heritage who want a clearer breakdown of continental and subcontinental signals. What you learn - Quantitative ancestry proportions from major and regional groups (e.g., S-Indian, Baloch, NE-Euro, Papuan). - Signals consistent with major migration events (Out-of-Africa echoes, Eurasian expansions, Austronesian/Pacific, Beringian/Native American links). - Relative affinities that help interpret admixture timing and population structure without providing medical or phenotype predictions. Reference panel (16 populations) - S-Indian, Baloch, SE-Asian, Siberian, NE-Asian, Caucasian, NE-Euro, Eastern_Euro, Mediterranean, Papuan, American, Beringian, San, E-African, Pygmy, W-African Historical and genetic context Harappaworld situates modern genomes within a framework shaped by ancient migrations, regional isolation, and recent admixture. Components such as Beringian and American capture New World founder effects, while South Asian (S-Indian, Baloch) and Eurasian categories reflect millennia of exchange across the Indian Ocean and steppe corridors. African components (San, Pygmy, E‑African, W‑African) preserve deep structure from early human diversification. Why Harappaworld is valuable - A global, balanced panel designed to resolve both continental and fine-scale regional ancestry. - Intuitive output for non-experts combined with transparent methodological notes for specialists. - Helps users translate

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 0 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
