Admixture Studio
Chart the untold story written in your DNA.
Turn raw genetic data into ancestry composition, population signals, and publication-ready visuals?built for curious minds exploring their heritage.
Your genome isn't a spreadsheet.
It's a voyage.
Reveal ancestry composition with clarity, not guesswork.
Every DNA test tells you percentages. But what do they mean? Where do those numbers come from? And how can you dig deeper?
Admixture Studio transforms raw genetic data into a visual journey across populations and continents. See exactly how your DNA clusters with world populations, explore which ethnic groups match your profile, and understand the science behind your results.
Whether you're confirming family stories, exploring unexpected connections, or simply curious about your heritage?this is where the real discovery begins.
From raw DNA to meaning
A simple 3-step process to discover your detailed ancestry
Bring your data
Upload your raw DNA file from 23andMe, Ancestry, FTDNA, or any major testing service. Upload once, re-run analyses any time.

Choose from dozens of ethnicity calculators. The analysis runs locally on your computer?your DNA never leaves your machine.
See ancestry emerge
View your detailed ethnicity breakdown with maps, charts, and population comparisons. Export results or dig deeper with advanced tools.
See patterns your eyes can trust
Make results presentation-ready with intuitive visualizations
Ancestry Map
Visualize your genetic connections across the globe. Interactive maps show population distributions and regional ancestry signals.
Admixture Bars
Clear, publication-ready bar charts break down your ethnic composition. Compare results across multiple calculators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Genetic admixture analysis estimates the proportions of ancestry from different populations in your DNA. It compares your genetic markers against reference populations to calculate your ethnic composition percentages.
Admixture Studio supports raw DNA files from all major testing companies: 23andMe (all versions), AncestryDNA, FTDNA, MyHeritage, LivingDNA, and Geno 2.0. Simply download your raw data file and load it into the application.
Yes, absolutely. Admixture Studio is a desktop application that processes your DNA data entirely on your computer. Your genetic information never leaves your machine or gets uploaded to any server.
PCA (Principal Component Analysis) projection plots your genetic profile on a chart alongside reference populations. This visualization shows how your DNA clusters with different ethnic groups, helping you understand your genetic heritage in a visual format.
Small percentages (under 5%) can indicate distant ancestry or statistical noise. Focus on larger percentages for more confident interpretations. Running multiple calculators helps identify consistent patterns across different analysis methods.
The Free version includes basic admixture calculations with standard processing speed. PRO unlocks up to 100x faster calculations, advanced Ancestor Predictions methods, PCA projections, chromosome browsing, batch processing, and interactive geographic maps.
Ancestor Predictions find the closest matching populations and population combinations for your DNA. The tool calculates genetic distances to identify which reference populations most closely match your ancestry profile.
Yes, with the PRO version you can run batch processing to analyze multiple DNA files and compare results across family members or different samples.
Admixture Studio runs on Windows 7 or later. The installer includes all necessary components. No additional software or dependencies are required.
New calculators and updates are released regularly based on the latest genetic research and reference population data. The application automatically checks for updates when connected to the internet.
