GedrosiaDNA Turkic K11

**GedrosiaDNA Turkic K11 — Modern global admixture calculator** A targeted K11 admixture model that quantifies ancestry against 11 reference clusters, emphasizing Turkic, Mongol, Eurasian, South and Southeast Asian, Oceanian and African components. Ideal for researchers, genealogy enthusiasts, and anyone exploring Turkic/Central Asian-related ancestry. Results offer interpretable proportions and historical context, with clear caveats about model simplification.

About This Calculator

**GedrosiaDNA Turkic K11 — Modern global admixture calculator** This calculator estimates ancestry proportions by comparing a tested genome to 11 reference populations chosen to capture major West Eurasian, Central and East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, Oceanian, and Sub-Saharan African variation. It is optimized to highlight components relevant to Turkic-speaking and adjacent Eurasian populations while remaining suitable for global users. What it analyzes - Genome-wide autosomal SNP patterns against 11 references: **SE_European, W_Asian, SE_Asian, SSA, NE_European, Indian, NW_European, Turkic, Mongol, Papuan, NE_Asian**. - Proportional contributions from these clusters that reflect recent and deep shared ancestry in the modern era. Who it's designed for - Researchers and citizen geneticists exploring Eurasian and global admixture patterns. - People with suspected or documented Turkic, Central Asian, Mongolic, or mixed Eurasian heritage. - Genealogy enthusiasts seeking a nuanced breakdown beyond continental labels. Insights you can gain - Approximate ancestry percentages tied to regional population clusters (e.g., Turkic vs Mongol vs European components). - Signals of South Asian, Southeast Asian, or Papuan/Oceanian inputs and Sub-Saharan African admixture where present. - A comparative framework to interpret genetic affinity among Eurasian groups in historical context (migrations, steppe movements, Silk Road exchanges). Historical and genetic context Turkic-speaking groups formed through complex interactions across the Eurasian Steppe, mixing local West Eurasian, Inner Asian, Siberian, and South/Central Asian gene pools. This K11 model captures that mosaic by including both putative Turkic and Mongol components alongside neighboring European, South Asian, and East/Southeast Asian signatures. Why this calculator is valuable - Provides a targeted, interpretable admixture profile tailored to Turkic and broader Eurasian ancestries. - Useful for hypoth

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

How It Works

Your DNA is compared to 11 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
