Admixture Calculator

MDLP World K11e

**MDLP World K11e — Ancient-era admixture snapshot** A world-scale, K11e-based calculator that estimates ancestry proportions tied to deep prehistoric clusters. It reports affinities to broad reference groups (African, Amerindian, ASI, Basal Iran–Mesolithic/Neolithic, Oceanic, EHG, SEA, Siberian, WHG), helping users explore long-term population structure, migration signals, and comparative ancient ancestry. Model-dependent; best used with archaeological and haplogroup context.

About This Calculator

**MDLP World K11e — Ancient-era admixture interpreter** This calculator decomposes a modern or ancient genome into ancestry fractions derived from an ancient-focused, K11e model calibrated for world-wide comparisons. It estimates the share of genetic ancestry attributable to major deep-time population clusters and frames those results in a concise, comparative context. What it analyzes - Proportional contributions from ancestral components represented by broad reference groups: **African**, **Amerindian**, **ASI (Ancestral South Indian)**, **Basal Iran–Mesolithic/Neolithic**, **Oceanic**, **EHG (Eastern Hunter‑Gatherer)**, **SEA (Southeast Asian)**, **Siberian**, and **WHG (Western Hunter‑Gatherer)**. - Ancient-era affinity rather than recent genealogical relationships: the calculator highlights long-term population structure and prehistoric admixture signals. Who it's designed for - Genetic enthusiasts, genealogists, and researchers who want a world-scale, ancient-context snapshot of ancestry. - Users comparing modern samples to deep-time population clusters or exploring broad prehistoric migration and interaction patterns. Insights you can gain - Quantitative ancestry proportions tied to major prehistoric source groups. - Relative affinities that illuminate possible migration corridors, hunter–farmer contrasts, and regional mixture histories. - A framework for comparing samples across regions and time periods using shared ancient components. Historical and genetic context - The reference clusters represent deep branches of Eurasian, African, Amerindian and Oceanian prehistory: hunter‑gatherer lineages (WHG, EHG), Holocene agricultural gradients (Basal Iran–Mesolithic/Neolithic), deep South Asian heritage (ASI), and sources tied to Siberia, Southeast Asia and Oceania. - These proxies are simplifications: they capture broad prehistoric structure useful for hypothesis generation and cross-sample comparisons. Why this calculator is valuable - Provides a clear, i

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

11 Reference Populations

African
- Populations originating from the African continent with diverse ancestries.
Amerindian
- Indigenous people of the Americas with a rich cultural and genetic heritage.
ASI (Ancestral South Indian)
- Represents ancient genetic components found predominantly in the Indian Subcontinent.
Basal Iran-Mesolithic Neolithic
- Refers to ancient populations from early agricultural societies in Iran and adjacent areas.
Oceanic
- Populations from the Pacific Islands, including Melanesians, Micronesians, and Polynesians.
EHG (Eastern Hunter-Gatherer)
- Ancient populations from Eastern Europe and Western Siberia known for their hunting and gathering lifestyle.
SEA (Southeast Asian)
- Diverse populations from regions such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Siberian
- Indigenous groups originating from the vast Siberian region.
WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer)
- Prehistoric populations who inhabited Western Europe.

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 11 reference populations
Ancient 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
Ancient populations are used as references
Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution
Results are estimates based on available reference data
