MDLP K6
MDLP K6 is an ancient-era admixture calculator that estimates six deep ancestral components—SEA, Australo‑Melanesian, WHG, African, Paleosiberian, and Basal. Designed for researchers and curious users worldwide, it highlights broad prehistoric affinities and migration signals, offering an interpretable snapshot of deep population structure for ancient and modern genomes.

Über diesen Rechner
MDLP K6 is an ancient-era genetic admixture calculator designed to decompose an individual's autosomal profile into six deep ancestral components: Southeast Asian (SEA), Australo‑Melanesian, Western Hunter‑Gatherer (WHG), African, Paleosiberian, and Basal. Optimized for studies of deep population structure and ancient DNA, this model highlights broad prehistoric affinities and migration signals that shaped modern and ancient genomes worldwide.
Who this is for: MDLP K6 is intended for researchers, archaeogeneticists, advanced hobbyists, genetic genealogists, and students who want an interpretable, regionally broad estimate of deep ancestry. It is useful when comparing ancient samples, placing modern individuals in a long-term population context, or generating hypotheses about prehistoric contacts and population replacement.
What it reveals: The calculator reports proportional contributions from each of the six reference clusters, helping users identify dominant deep-lineage signals (for example, elevated Australo‑Melanesian or SEA affinity), detect traces of Paleosiberian or WHG ancestry, or measure residual African and deep Basal components. These proportions can indicate ancient admixture, long-range gene flow, or continuity within particular regions and timeframes.
Context and limitations: The “Basal” component represents a deep, early-diverging non-African lineage; WHG reflects western European hunter‑gatherer ancestry; Paleosiberian captures relict northeastern Eurasian signals; SEA and Australo‑Melanesian reflect distinct eastern non-African trajectories; African denotes sub‑Saharan ancestry or ancient backflow. Components are model constructs—coarse by design—and should be interpreted as broad affinities rather than precise, time-resolved events. MDLP K6 is most meaningful alongside complementary analyses (PCA, formal tests, archaeological context).
Why use it: MDLP K6 offers a clear, comparative snapshot of ancient-scale ancestry patterns. It is valuable
Referenzpopulationen
Die in diesem Rechner als genetische Referenzen verwendeten Populationen
6 Referenzpopulationen
SEA (Southeast Asian)
Explore the rich tapestry of Southeast Asia, where rice paddies, ancient temples, and vibrant marketplaces echo the diversity and dynamism of its people. This ancestry component captures the spirit of cultures that have thrived in lush landscapes from the Mekong Delta to the islands of Indonesia, reflecting millennia of trade, tradition, and human migration.
Australo-Melanesian
Explore the profound heritage of the Australo-Melanesian people, whose history is etched into the rugged landscapes of Australia and the scattered, sun-drenched islands of Melanesia. This ancestry captures the legacy of some of the earliest human migrations, characterized by distinct genetic markers that reveal a deep connection to the land and the sea.
WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherers)
Journey back to the time of the Western Hunter-Gatherers, the nomadic peoples who roamed the vast forests and rolling steppes of Ice Age Europe. This component reflects a heritage of resilience and adaptation, embodying the spirit of those who lived in harmony with the harsh climatic changes and megafauna of the Paleolithic era.
African
Embrace the diverse and rich genetic legacy of Africa, the cradle of humanity. This ancestry component spans from the sweeping savannahs and dense rainforests to the expansive deserts, encapsulating the genetic diversity that has shaped human evolution. It represents the birthplace of both ancient civilizations and varied cultures that have influenced the entire globe.
Paleosiberian
Discover the Paleosiberian ancestry, a testament to the rugged endurance of the peoples who have long inhabited the expansive and frosty landscapes of northeastern Siberia. This genetic lineage tells the story of small, isolated groups who mastered the harsh Arctic environment, a narrative of survival and cultural richness beyond the vast tundra.
Basal
Uncover your most ancient roots with the Basal ancestry component, representing the earliest known divergences in human genetic history. This deep ancestral line offers a glimpse into the fundamental building blocks of human diversity, predating the rise of agriculture and the subsequent migrations that have shaped the modern human tapestry.

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 6 sorgfältig ausgewählte ancient Populationen als Referenzen und ermöglicht eine detaillierte Darstellung Ihrer genetischen Ähnlichkeit.
So funktioniert es
- Ihr DNA wird mit 6 Referenzpopulationen verglichen
- Ancient-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
- Ancient-Populationen werden als Referenzen verwendet
- Die Prozentsätze geben relative Beiträge im Modell an
- Die Ergebnisse sind Schätzungen auf Basis der verfügbaren Referenzdaten
