World and American Breakdown K28
World and American Breakdown K28 — A modern, fine-scale admixture calculator comparing your DNA to 28 globally and regionally informed reference populations. It emphasizes Indigenous American substructure while resolving European, African, Middle Eastern, Asian and Oceanian contributions. Ideal for genealogists, adoptees, and researchers seeking clearer historical and geographic ancestry insights.

World and American Breakdown K28 — Modern global admixture calculator
This calculator analyzes genome-wide patterns of genetic ancestry by comparing a tested genotype to a curated panel of 28 reference populations from across the globe, with dense representation of Indigenous American groups. It quantifies proportional ancestry from sources such as Cree, Raramuri, Pima, Zapoteco, Mixteco, Nahua, Maya, Quechua, Karitiana, Surui, multiple European clusters, African regions, Middle East, South and East Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania and others to produce a refined breakdown relevant to modern populations.
Who it’s for
- Genealogy enthusiasts, adoptees, and family history researchers
- Population geneticists and students seeking comparative context
- Anyone curious about complex ancestry in the Americas and worldwide
What you’ll learn
- Estimated proportions from 28 reference groups, highlighting fine-scale Indigenous American structure and global contributions
- Signals of colonial-era admixture (European, African, and Middle Eastern inputs) and earlier migrations (Asian and Oceanian) where present
- Geographic and historical context to help interpret mixed ancestries
Why this matters
- Many global calculators aggregate Indigenous American ancestry into a single category; K28 resolves multiple autochthonous groups to reveal regional Indigenous substructure
- Useful for distinguishing nearby European clusters (Northern, Eastern, Southwest, Western) and African regional contributions
- Helps translate genetic estimates into historical narratives: migration corridors, colonization events, and recent admixture patterns
This tool prioritizes transparency: reference populations are named and geographically anchored, and results should be interpreted as statistical estimates rather than definitive labels. Use alongside family history, archival records, and regional knowledge for the most meaningful insights.

Was ist eine Admixture-Analyse?
Bei einer Admixture-Analyse wird Ihre genetische Ähnlichkeit geschätzt, indem Ihr DNA mit Referenzpopulationen aus verschiedenen Weltregionen verglichen wird. Die Komponenten des Modells stehen für diese Referenzen und hängen von den zugrunde liegenden Daten und Annahmen ab.
Dieser Rechner nutzt 28 sorgfältig ausgewählte modern Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 28 Referenzpopulationen verglichen
- Modern-Populationen dienen als genetische Referenzen
- Die Ergebnisse zeigen Ihre genetische Ähnlichkeit zu diesen Populationen
- Ein vielfältiges Referenzpanel verbessert die Schätzungen
Ihre Ergebnisse verstehen
Ihre Ergebnisse zeigen Prozentsätze der genetischen Ähnlichkeit zu diesen Referenzpopulationen. Beachten Sie diese Punkte:
- Die Ergebnisse spiegeln genetische Ähnlichkeit wider, nicht nachgewiesene direkte Abstammung
- Modern-Populationen werden als Referenzen verwendet
- Die Prozentsätze geben relative Beiträge im Modell an
- Die Ergebnisse sind Schätzungen auf Basis der verfügbaren Referenzdaten
