Global Ancestry K36
Global Ancestry K36 is a 36-component admixture calculator using 64 global reference populations. It provides fine-scale ancestry proportions and regional affinities across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. Ideal for genealogy enthusiasts, students and researchers, it offers higher resolution than broad continental tests while remaining transparent about reference-driven limitations.

À propos de ce calculateur
Global Ancestry K36 is a high-resolution admixture calculator that decomposes an individual genome into 36 modeled ancestral components using a diverse panel of 64 modern reference populations. It is designed to detect fine-scale ancestry signals across Eurasia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania, highlighting regional affinities that standard broad-scale tests can miss.
What this calculator analyzes
- Proportional ancestry estimates across 36 components derived from allele frequency patterns.
- Relative affinity to 64 curated reference populations (e.g., European, Near Eastern, Central and South Asian, East and Southeast Asian, African, Native American, and Oceanian groups).
Who it’s for
- Genealogy enthusiasts and adoptees seeking deeper regional clues.
- Population geneticists and students who need a comparative, visual tool for structure analyses.
- Casual users curious about ancestral mixtures beyond continental labels.
Insights you can gain
- Quantified ancestry proportions that suggest likely regional origins and admixture profiles.
- Fine-grained distinctions (for example, sub‑European or sub‑West Asian signals) produced by dense reference coverage.
- Hypotheses about past mixture events and migratory contacts when combined with historical context and other data.
Historical and genetic context
This model captures genetic structure shaped by millennia of migrations, isolation-by-distance and historical admixture. Components correlate with known population clusters (e.g., Steppe, Anatolian, North African, East Asian, Sub-Saharan and Indigenous American lineages) but are model-based and reflect the contemporary allele frequencies of the reference samples.
Why it’s valuable
- Wide geographic coverage and 64 references increase resolution for regional ancestry calls.
- Useful as a comparative layer alongside haplogroup, segment-based and temporal analyses.
Limitations to keep in mind
- Results depend on reference representation and cannot date admix

Comprendre l'analyse d'admixture
Découvrez le fonctionnement des calculateurs d'admixture et comment interpréter vos résultats
Qu'est-ce que l'analyse d'admixture ?
L'analyse d'admixture est une méthode qui permet d'estimer votre similarité génétique en comparant votre ADN à des populations de référence du monde entier. On peut la voir comme une composition de votre profil génétique, où les composantes représentent différentes populations de référence.
Ce calculateur utilise 36 populations modernes soigneusement sélectionnées comme références, pour une répartition détaillée de votre similarité génétique.
Comment ça fonctionne
- Votre ADN est comparé à 36 populations de référence
- Des populations Moderne sont utilisées comme références génétiques
- Les résultats indiquent votre similarité génétique avec ces populations
- Un panel de référence diversifié améliore la précision des estimations
Comprendre vos résultats
Vos résultats affichent des pourcentages de similarité génétique avec ces populations de référence. Gardez à l'esprit les points suivants :
- Les résultats reflètent une similarité génétique, pas une ascendance directe démontrée
- Des populations Moderne sont utilisées comme références
- Les pourcentages indiquent une contribution génétique relative dans le modèle
- Les résultats sont des estimations fondées sur les données de référence disponibles
