Admixture Calculator

Levantine Viking Ashkenazi K7

**Levantine Viking Ashkenazi K7** — A modern-era admixture calculator tailored for Ashkenazi Jewish genomes. Using seven reference clusters (Southern, Western, Eastern, Central, Northwest Europe, Middle Eastern, Turkic), it quantifies Levantine vs. regional European ancestry. Ideal for genealogists and curious individuals seeking a nuanced, population-level view of Ashkenazi genetic history. Interpret as an informed estimate, not a definitive lineage report.

About This Calculator

**Levantine Viking Ashkenazi K7 — Modern-era admixture calculator** This calculator estimates the proportional ancestry of individuals from the **Ashkenazi Jewish** population using seven modern reference clusters. It is built to parse subtle signals of European and Middle Eastern ancestry that shaped Ashkenazi genomes over the last millennium. **What it analyzes** - Genome-wide ancestry fractions against seven reference populations: **Southern Europe, Western Europe, Middle Eastern, Eastern Europe, Central Europe, Northwest Europe,** and **Turkic**. - Relative contributions expressed as percentages and a comparative profile that highlights dominant and minor components. **Who it is for** - Individuals of Ashkenazi descent seeking a clearer picture of their recent population history. - Genealogists, geneticists, and enthusiasts exploring migration and admixture in European and Levantine contexts. **Insights you can gain** - Quantified proportions of Levantine (Middle Eastern) versus European ancestry and the regional flavor of any European input (e.g., Southern vs. Northwest Europe). - Clues about historical admixture events: integration with local European groups, possible Eastern European or Turkic admixture, and the balance between coastal Mediterranean and inland European sources. **Historical and genetic context** - Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry reflects a primary Levantine origin combined with varying degrees of European admixture during the Diaspora. Labels like “Viking” or “Northwest Europe” are shorthand for genetic clusters associated with populations from those regions; they do not imply direct, single-source descent. **Why this calculator is valuable** - Provides a nuanced, regionally-resolved breakdown tailored to Ashkenazi genomes, helping users move beyond binary “European vs. Middle Eastern” summaries. - Useful for framing family stories in a population-genetic context and for generating hypotheses for further genealogical or scholarly investigatio

0 Reference Populations

Southern Europe

Populations: Predominantly Mediterranean, includes countries like Italy, Greece, Spain, and Portugal. Known for diverse cultural influences from ancient civilizations.

Western Europe

Populations: Includes countries such as France, Belgium, and parts of Germany. Characterized by a mix of Celtic and Roman historical influences.

Middle Eastern

Populations: Encompasses regions in the Arabian Peninsula, Levant, and parts of North Africa. Rich history due to ancient civilizations and diverse ethnic groups.

Eastern Europe

Populations: Comprises countries like Russia, Poland, and Ukraine. Known for Slavic ethnic groups and historical ties to the Byzantium and Ottoman empires.

Central Europe

Populations: Includes countries like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Mixture of Germanic and Slavic cultural influences.

Northwest Europe

Populations: Includes the British Isles and Scandinavian countries. Dominantly Celtic and Nordic ancestry.

Turkic

Populations: Encompasses regions stretching from Eastern Europe to Central Asia, including Turkey. Known for historical nomadic movements and diverse Turkish ethnic groups.

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
