MDLP K15

MDLP K15 is a modern autosomal admixture calculator that decomposes a person’s genome into proportions derived from 15 reference clusters drawn from across Eurasia and adjacent regions. Designed for world-wide users—genealogists, hobbyists, researchers and anyone curious about their recent ancestral composition—this tool focuses on fine-scale regional affinities typical of contemporary populations. The 15 reference components include major and sub-regional groups such as Caucasian, Balkanic-1 and Balkanic-2, Balto-Slavic, West- and East-Mediterranean, Iberian, Celto-Germanic, Paleo-North-European, Balto-Finnic, Uralic-Permic, Volga-Uralic, West- and East-Altaic, and South-Central-Asian.

What it analyzes: MDLP K15 evaluates autosomal SNP data to estimate relative contributions from each reference cluster, highlighting patterns of shared genetic drift, recent admixture, and regional affinity. Users receive quantitative percentage breakdowns and can interpret which historical population movements (e.g., migrations, expansions, or long-standing regional continuity) are most consistent with their genetic profile.

Insights you can gain: Explore likely regional origins, detect multi-regional ancestry, and see signals that correspond to known historical processes—such as Slavic expansions, Mediterranean contacts, steppe-related gene flow, or Finno-Ugric affinities. The calculator is particularly useful when used alongside family history, PCA plots, or additional admixture runs for cross-validation.

Context and limitations: The 15 clusters are statistical constructs based on modern reference samples; they simplify continuous variation into interpretable components. Results are probabilistic, impacted by reference selection, SNP density, and recent gene flow. MDLP K15 is best used as an interpretive guide rather than a deterministic label.

Value: MDLP K15 delivers accessible, interpretable admixture profiles with good resolution across European, West Asian and Central Asi
