GedrosiaDNA Kurdish K10

**GedrosiaDNA Kurdish K10 — 10-component Kurdish-centered admixture model** A modern autosomal calculator optimized to resolve West Asian and adjacent ancestries. It estimates proportions from Kurdish, SE/NE/NW European, Indian, E‑Asian, Siberian, Sardinian, SW‑Asian and Sub‑Saharan reference groups. Ideal for people with Kurdish, Iranian Plateau, Caucasus or neighbouring European/South Asian roots who want fine-scale regional insights and a comparative snapshot of recent genetic structure.

About This Calculator

**GedrosiaDNA Kurdish K10 — Modern 10-component admixture model** This calculator analyzes an individual's autosomal DNA against a focused, 10-component reference panel designed around a Kurdish-centered West Eurasian framework. It estimates proportional ancestry from ten modern reference populations: **Kurdish, SE-European, NE-European, Indian, E-Asian, NW-European, Siberian, Sardinian, SW-Asian, and Sub‑Saharan**. The model is optimized to resolve fine-scale structure across West Asia, the Caucasus and adjoining parts of Europe and South Asia. Who this is for: - Individuals of West Asian, Caucasus, Anatolian, Iranian Plateau or neighbouring European and South Asian descent - Genealogists and hobbyists wanting finer resolution for Kurdish‑linked ancestries - Population geneticists and students seeking a comparative modern admixture snapshot What you gain: - A clear proportional breakdown across 10 interpretable components - Evidence of regional continuity (e.g., Sardinian-like Neolithic signal vs. Kurdish/SW‑Asian components) - Signals of steppe/European influx (NE/NW/SE European components) and eastern contributions (Siberian, E‑Asian) - South Asian (Indian) and Sub‑Saharan contributions when present - A tool to compare how your profile aligns with modern Kurdish and neighbouring populations Historical and genetic context: The Kurdish component anchors the model to populations of the Zagros and adjacent highlands, regions characterized by long-term genetic continuity and multiple migration layers (Neolithic farmers, Bronze Age movements, later west/east Eurasian flows). Sardinian serves as a conservative proxy for early European farmer ancestry; Siberian and E‑Asian components capture northern and eastern Eurasian inputs. The split of European components (NW/NE/SE) helps reflect later regional differentiations. Why use GedrosiaDNA Kurdish K10: - Provides targeted resolution for West Asian-centred ancestry questions - Complements broader, global calculators by

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

10 Reference Populations

Kurdish: A population primarily inhabiting the regions spanning southeastern Turkey, northern Syria, northern Iraq, and western Iran with a distinct language and cultural heritage.
SE-European (Southeastern European): Populations from the Balkan Peninsula including countries like Greece, Bulgaria, and the former Yugoslav republics, known for diverse cultural influences due to historical migrations and empires.
NE-European (Northeastern European): Populations from countries in the northeastern part of Europe, particularly around the Baltic Sea such as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, often characterized by Finno-Ugric and Baltic languages.
Indian: Populations from the Indian subcontinent, a region with diverse ethnic groups, languages, and religions, mostly found in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and surrounding areas.
E-Asian (East Asian): Populations from countries in East Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia, known for rich histories and linguistic diversity.
NW-European (Northwestern European): Populations from the northwestern part of Europe, including countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Nordic countries, often sharing Germanic and Celtic roots.
Siberian: Populations inhabiting Siberia in Russia, comprising various indigenous ethnic groups adapted to cold climates, such as the Evenks and the Buryats.
Sardinian: Refers to the native population of the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean, known for unique genetic characteristics preserved due to geographical isolation.
SW-Asian (Southwestern Asian): Populations from the southwestern part of Asia, including the Arabian Peninsula and Iran, often with shared historical and cultural ties.
Sub-Saharan: Populations living in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa, characterized by a wide variety of ethnic groups, languages, and cultures, south of the Sahara Desert.

Continental Grouping:

Europe: SE-European, NE-European, NW-European, Sardinian
Asia: Kurdish, E-Asian, SW-Asian, Indian, Siberian
Africa: Sub-Saharan

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 10 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
