Global Ancestry K25

Global Ancestry K25

This calculator estimates an individual's autosomal ancestry as proportions across a 25‑component modern reference panel (K25). It quantifies how much genetic affinity you share with geographically and historically informed populations from Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania.

What this analyzes

• Autosomal admixture proportions against 26 modern reference populations (e.g., East_European, Anatolia_Caucasus_Iranian_Plateau, Bengal, West_African, Oceania).
• Relative genetic affinity reflecting recent and deep population history rather than strict “labels.”

Who it’s designed for

• Genetic genealogy enthusiasts seeking finer regional resolution.
• Population geneticists and students needing a modern multi‑regional baseline.
• Anyone curious about ancestral composition across Eurasia, Africa, and Oceania.

Insights you can gain

• Proportions of ancestry tied to major geographic and historical planes: Near Eastern farmer and Caucasus-related signals, Steppe/north‑central Asian influences, South and Southeast Asian components, African regional distinctions, and Oceanian signatures.
• Clues about migration, admixture, and recent regional contact when combined with dates or family history.

Historical and genetic context

This panel reflects modern population structure shaped by events such as post‑glacial recolonization, the Neolithic transition from Anatolia and the Iranian plateau, Bronze Age Steppe movements into Europe and South Asia, maritime expansions in Southeast Asia and Oceania, and long‑distance dispersals across Africa and Eurasia.

Why it’s valuable

• Offers fine-grained, interpretable components for comparative analyses.
• Useful as a cross‑check against other calculators and for identifying unexpected admixture signals.

Caveats

• Results depend on reference sampling and mode
