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

Como interpretar a análise de mistura genética
Descubra como funcionam as calculadoras de mistura genética e como interpretar os resultados
O que é a análise de mistura genética?
A análise de mistura genética estima a semelhança genética comparando o seu DNA com populações de referência de diferentes partes do mundo. Os componentes do modelo representam essas referências e dependem dos dados e pressupostos utilizados.
Esta calculadora utiliza 15 cuidadosamente seleccionadas modern populações como referências para descrever detalhadamente a semelhança genética.
Como funciona
- Tu DNA se compara con 15 poblaciones de referencia
- Modern se utilizan como referencias genéticas
- Os resultados mostram a sua semelhança genética com estas populações
- A diversidade do painel de referência influencia as estimativas
Como interpretar seus resultados
Os resultados mostram percentagens de similaridade genética com estas populações de referência. Tenha presente estes pontos:
- Os resultados reflectem a semelhança genética, não ascendência directa demonstrada
- Modern se utilizan como referencias
- As percentagens indicam contribuições relativas no modelo
- Os resultados são estimativas baseadas nos dados de referência disponíveis
