Modern World Kakaji K16
Modern World Kakaji K16 gives a clear 16-way modern ancestry breakdown using 16 contemporary reference populations across Eurasia, Africa, the Americas and South Asia. Ideal for genealogy enthusiasts, adoptees and researchers, it provides proportional ancestry estimates, historical context and interpretation guidance. Uses present-day populations as proxies; not a medical test.

Modern World Kakaji K16 — What it analyzes
This calculator estimates ancestry proportions across 16 modern reference populations using autosomal genome-wide markers (K=16). It compares a user's genotype to contemporary population proxies to produce a proportional admixture profile that reflects major biogeographic components from Eurasia, Africa, the Americas and South Asia.
Reference populations included
- Dai, Telugu, Japanese, Yakut, Makrani, Bedouin, Druze, Sardinian, Finn
- Esan (Nigeria), Mozabite, Mbuti Pygmies, Gambian, Pima, Karitiana, Kalash
Who this is designed for
- Genealogy enthusiasts, adoptees and consumers curious about recent ancestral composition
- Population geneticists and students seeking a clear 16-way modern reference comparison
- Anyone wanting an accessible, visual summary of likely regional ancestry (not a medical test)
Insights you can gain
- Proportional breakdown across 16 modern components, highlighting likely regional mixtures
- Detection of signals consistent with major historical events: Out-of-Africa dispersals, Eurasian and Siberian gene flow, South Asian and Central Asian structure, North African and Levantine components, and Native American founder signals
- Identification of highly drifted or isolated signals (e.g., Kalash, Sardinian, Finn) that can indicate long-term isolation or founder effects
Historical and genetic context This model uses present-day populations as proxies; each component represents aggregated genetic similarity shaped by migrations, isolation and admixture. For example, Mozabite and Bedouin capture North African/Levantine ancestry, while Mbuti and Esan represent distinct Central and West African hunter-gatherer and agriculturalist lineages. Karitiana and Pima model Native American founder diversity; Yakut and Dai capture northern and southeast Asian variation.
Why this calculator is valuable
- Provides a readable, well-balanced 16-way overview for modern global ancestry

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 16 sorgfältig ausgewählte modern Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 16 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
