MDLP World K33
**MDLP World K33 — Global ancestry in 33 components** A modern, high-resolution admixture calculator that breaks your genome into proportions across 33 global and regional reference populations. Ideal for genealogy enthusiasts and researchers, it reveals continental and fine-scale affinities—from African_archaic and Westafrican to Eastasian, Dravidian, Papuan, and multiple European clusters—while noting probabilistic limits.

Understanding Admixture Analysis

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 33 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
- Your DNA is compared to 33 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
