Admixture Calculator

Russia 8

**Russia 8 — Modern Eurasian admixture** A focused autosomal calculator that estimates modern ancestry proportions across eight reference clusters: Siberian, Caucasian, East-Slavic, East-Finnic, Uralic, East-Asian, Northeast-Asian, and Permic. Ideal for people with Russian, Uralic, or Eurasian roots and for researchers seeking clear regional affinity breakdowns. Model-based, informative, and best used alongside other genetic and historical data.

About This Calculator

**Russia 8 — Modern Eurasian Admixture Model** This calculator parses an individual's autosomal DNA against eight carefully chosen reference clusters to estimate modern Eurasian ancestry proportions. It measures contributions from **Siberian, Caucasian, East-Slavic, East-Finnic, Uralic, East-Asian, Northeast-Asian,** and **Permic** reference populations to produce an interpretable breakdown of genetic affinities in the modern era. Who it's for: - People with roots in Russia, Eastern Europe, the Ural region, Siberia, and neighboring areas - Genealogy enthusiasts seeking regional signals beyond national labels - Population geneticists and students exploring modern admixture patterns What you learn: - Percentage estimates for each of the eight reference components, highlighting mixture between European, Uralic, Siberian, and Asian sources - Relative affinities that can suggest regional ancestries (e.g., elevated East-Slavic vs. East-Finnic proportions) - How signals commonly associated with historical events (Slavic expansion, Finno-Ugric presence, Siberian and steppe interactions, Caucasus gene flow) combine in modern genomes Context and value: Russia sits at a crossroads of forests, steppe, and mountains; its peoples reflect millennia of migrations and local continuity. This tool provides a focused lens on those patterns by using modern reference clusters tuned to the region. It helps convert raw autosomal data into a clear, comparative profile that complements documentary genealogy and archaeological context. Caveats: - Results are model-dependent and relative to the reference panel used; percentages are estimates, not absolute proofs of origin. - This calculator does not date admixture events or identify specific tribes or families. Use Russia 8 as a robust, educational starting point to understand how multiple Eurasian ancestry streams contribute to a modern genetic profile, and pair it with other analyses (haplogroups, multiple calculators, historical recor

Reference Populations

The populations used as genetic references in this calculator

8 Reference Populations

Siberian: Includes indigenous populations from the vast Siberian region, known for their diverse ethnic groups and languages, closely related to Uralic and East-Asian groups.
Caucasian: Encompasses the ethnic groups from the Caucasus region, a linguistically and culturally diverse area situated between Europe and Asia, notable for its distinct Caucasian, Turkic, and Iranian influences.
East-Slavic: Covers populations from Eastern Europe, primarily encompassing Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians, known for their Slavic languages and shared cultural heritage.
East-Finnic: Refers to Finnic groups in regions like Finland and the Baltic States, characterized by unique Finno-Ugric languages and cultural practices distinct from neighboring Indo-European groups.
Uralic: Encompasses populations descended from the Uralic language family, including Hungarians, Finns, and Estonians, distributed across Europe and parts of Northern Eurasia.
East-Asian: Includes populations from East Asia, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans, known for their diverse cultures, languages, and historical empires.
Northeast-Asian: Comprises ethnic groups from northeastern parts of Asia, highlighting shared cultural and historical elements with both Siberian and East-Asian populations.
Permic: Involves groups speaking Permic languages like Komi and Udmurt, located in Western Russia, with cultural ties to Uralic peoples.

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 8 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
