Admixture Calculator

Michał Northern Eurasia 19

**Michał Northern Eurasia 19** maps your autosomal DNA onto a focused set of modern Northern Eurasian reference populations to reveal fine-scale Siberian, Uralic, Caucasian, Northeast Asian and Northern European ancestry. Ideal for genealogists, researchers and curious users worldwide who want clear regional context and proportional ancestry estimates. Note: modern references approximate historical signals.

About This Calculator

**Michał Northern Eurasia 19 — Modern admixture calculator** This calculator analyzes autosomal DNA to estimate how your genetic ancestry is partitioned among a dense set of Northern Eurasian and neighboring reference populations. It compares your genotype to allele-frequency profiles derived from 18 curated, modern reference groups spanning Siberia, the Russian North, the Caucasus, Northeast Asia and parts of Europe to produce a clear admixture breakdown and nearest-population matches. Who it’s for - Enthusiasts and genealogists with family roots in Eurasia - Researchers and students seeking a user-friendly, modern reference model - Anyone worldwide curious about Northeast Asian, Siberian, Uralic, Caucasian or Northern European contributions in their DNA What you learn - Proportional ancestry estimates against reference groups such as Buryat, Ulchi, Yakut, Nganasan, Ket-Selkup, Khanty-Mansi, Karel-Komi, Udmurt, Chechen, Megrel-Abkhaz, Balto-Slavic, Northwest-European, Japanese-Chinese, Itelmen-Koryak, Chukchi, Itelmen-Koryak, Tajik-Bashkir and Eskimo - Which modern populations most closely match different parts of your genome - A regional context for observed components — for example, distinguishing Arctic/Siberian hunter-gatherer signals from Uralic or Caucasian admixture Historical and genetic context Northern Eurasia is a complex contact zone shaped by migrations of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers, later Uralic, Turkic, Mongolic and Indo-European movements, and repeated east–west and north–south gene flow. This model is tuned to detect those modern echoes in contemporary genomes. Why this calculator is valuable - Provides high-resolution, interpretable results focused on Northern Eurasian diversity - Useful for refining hypotheses about regional ancestry and recent admixture - Offers a practical balance between broad continental models and very localized datasets Notes and limitations - Uses modern reference populations; results are an approximation of a

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 19 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
