06 · Scientific methodology

How the comparisons are built

Each method answers a different question. Expand the panels to see how the visual models work and what they can support.

Reference panels

Ancient and contemporary samples are organized into comparison panels with geographic, temporal, and archaeological context.

Multiple methods

Chromosomal comparisons, mixture models, IBS, and haplogroup placement provide complementary views.

Quality and interpretation

Validation and data-quality checks support interpretation, while results remain statistical estimates rather than genealogical proof.

Chromosomal-level analysis

Chromosomal analysis compares smaller windows of your DNA with reference panels instead of relying only on a single global estimate. Where the data supports it, phasing can separate inherited chromosome copies to provide additional context.

Segment-level similarity can identify informative regions, but it does not prove descent from a named person or group.

Admixture analysis

Admixture analysis models a genetic profile as a mixture of selected ancient or contemporary reference components. Percentages show the best fit for that model and reference set, so values can differ between calculators.

Components are model-based similarities, not fixed measures of ethnicity or identity.

Identity by state (IBS)

IBS analysis identifies allele states or segment patterns shared with ancient and contemporary samples. Longer or repeated matching regions can strengthen a similarity signal when data quality and marker density are sufficient.

IBS similarity alone does not establish a recent common ancestor or direct descent.

Haplogroup analysis

Haplogroup analysis uses Y-DNA or mitochondrial markers to estimate placement on paternal or maternal phylogenetic trees. Branch age ranges and migration maps provide population-history context for that lineage branch.

A haplogroup represents one lineage branch and does not summarize a person's complete ancestry.

Reading ancient and modern DNA since 2018

DNA Genics has been building ancestry and DNA analysis reports since 2018. Our reports come from years of work with our own reference panels, calculators and ancient-genome comparisons, developed and reviewed by our team. They are not generated on the fly or assembled as a side project. We use AI only in clearly labelled optional features.
