Dodecad V3

Dodecad V3 — Global Admixture Calculator (Modern era)

Dodecad V3 analyzes genome-wide autosomal variation to estimate ancestry proportions against a compact, interpretable set of 13 reference components that span the modern world. Using model-based ancestry deconvolution, it places an individual's DNA on a global palette of genetic ancestry: East_European, West_European, Mediterranean, West_Asian, South_Asian, Northeast_Asian, Southeast_Asian, Southwest_Asian, Neo_African, East_African, Northwest_African, Palaeo_African, and Amerindian.

Who it’s for:

• Individuals curious about deep and recent ancestry
• Genealogists and hobbyists seeking regional affinity signals
• Population geneticists and students needing a compact reference framework
• Cultural and historical researchers exploring migration patterns

What you gain:

• Quantitative ancestry proportions expressed across 13 well-differentiated components
• A clear, comparable snapshot of regional affinities useful for personal reports or research summaries
• Contextual clues about historical admixture events (e.g., Eurasian steppe influence, African diaspora, Austronesian expansion) when combined with time-aware interpretation

Why it matters: Dodecad V3 balances breadth and interpretability. Thirteen components are few enough to remain intuitive yet broad enough to capture major continental and subcontinental signals. This makes the calculator especially useful when you want a concise, global view rather than an overly fragmented breakdown.

Important notes:

• Results are model-based estimates, not deterministic identities; component labels reflect reference clusters, not exclusive populations.
• Resolution depends on the reference set; fine-scale local ancestry may require regional panels.
• Best used alongside PCA, haplotype analyses, or historical records for richer interpretation.

Dodecad V3 is designed to be a clear, scientifically grounded tool that helps users translate genetic variation into meaning
