Global Ancestry K45
Global Ancestry K45 maps your genome to a high‑resolution panel of 33 reference populations to reveal fine regional ancestry across Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. Ideal for genealogists, researchers and curious users, it highlights subtle subcontinental signals (e.g. Anatolia, Persia, Finno‑Ugric, South Indian, Papuan) and frames personal DNA within human migration history.

Global Ancestry K45 — what it analyzes
This calculator decomposes an individual's genome into up to 45 modeled components using a curated panel of 33 modern and regionally informative reference populations. It measures proportions of shared genetic ancestry across Africa, Europe, West and Central Asia, South and East Asia, Oceania and the Americas to reveal fine-grained regional signals rather than broad continental labels.
Who it's designed for
- Genetic genealogy enthusiasts and adoptees seeking more precise regional clues
- Researchers and students comparing population structure or admixture patterns
- Anyone curious about how recent and ancient migrations shaped their DNA
What insights you can gain
- Percentage breakdowns of ancestry linked to specific regions (e.g. West Africa, Anatolia/Caucasus, Baltic, Persia/Mesopotamia, Southern Indian Subcontinent, Papuan)
- Detection of minor components that signal historical contacts (e.g. Siberian, Finno‑Ugric, North Amerindian)
- A nuanced view of European substructure (Basque, Sardinian, North Italy, Iberian, Scandinavian, England)
Historical and genetic context
Modern human genomes are mosaics of lineages shaped by repeated migrations, isolations and admixture events — Out‑of‑Africa dispersals, the spread of agriculture, steppe migrations, maritime contacts and prehistoric colonizations of Oceania and the Americas. K45 uses contemporary reference panels to map these echoes onto individual genomes, helping to place personal ancestry into that global story.
Why this calculator is valuable
- High resolution across underrepresented regions (e.g. North East Africa, Tibeto‑Burmese, South Central Asia)
- Balanced set of 33 references for both large continental groups and fine regional subgroups
- Actionable clues for follow‑up genealogical research without overclaiming precision

Results are model-based estimates dependent on reference choices and are most informative as

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 45 sorgfältig ausgewählte modern Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 45 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
