Mephisto K15
Mephisto K15 — Global ancestry breakdown
A modern, 15-component admixture calculator that decomposes your autosomal DNA against global reference clusters (Mediterranean, Mozabite, Arabia, W_Africa, Omotic, Arctic, E_Asia, Khomani, Europe, Papuan, S_Asia, Caucasus, Siberia, E_Africa, SE_Asia). Ideal for individuals, genealogists, and researchers seeking clear, comparative insights into recent and deep ancestry, migration signals, and regional affinities.

Mephisto K15 — Modern Global Admixture Calculator
Mephisto K15 analyzes an individual's genome to estimate ancestry proportions across 15 modern reference populations. Using allele-frequency contrasts representative of major continental and regional genetic clines, it decomposes your genetic profile into interpretable components and visualizes how recent and deep ancestry contributions combine.
Who it's for
- Individuals curious about global ancestry patterns
- Geneticists, genealogists, and population-history enthusiasts
- People with complex, mixed heritage who want regional resolution
What it analyzes
- Autosomal SNP data compared to 15 reference clusters: Mediterranean, Mozabite, Arabia, W_Africa (West Africa), Omotic, Arctic, E_Asia (East Asia), Khomani, Europe, Papuan, S_Asia (South Asia), Caucasus, Siberia, E_Africa (East Africa), SE_Asia (Southeast Asia).
Insights you will gain
- Percentage breakdown of genetic ancestry across these regions
- Relative affinities that point to recent admixture versus deep shared ancestry
- Clues about migration, trade, and demographic events that shaped your genetic makeup
Context and value Human populations are the product of waves of migration, isolation, and mixture. Mephisto K15 places your DNA within that tapestry: Mediterranean and Caucasus signals often track west–east Eurasian exchanges; Mozabite and Omotic capture North African and Horn of Africa variation; Papuan, Arctic, and Siberian components indicate ancient dispersals into extreme environments. By combining broad continental groups with region-specific references, this calculator balances sensitivity and interpretability.
Why use Mephisto K15?
- Clear, comparative breakdown across 15 meaningful clusters
- Designed for global coverage and modern reference sampling
- Useful for personal exploration, research cross-checks, and hypothesis generation about ancestry
Interpret results as probabilistic signals influenced by reference choi

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 15 populations modernes soigneusement sélectionnées comme références, pour une répartition détaillée de votre similarité génétique.
Comment ça fonctionne
- Votre ADN est comparé à 15 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
