Recent Genetic analysis has confirmed that Proto-Turks originated from Baikal EBA (Baikal Hunter-gatherers) Who were predominantly Ancestral Northeast Asian with small Ancestral north Eurasian admixture. Descendants-(Khövsgöl LBA, Altai MLBA ) Khövsgöl LBA was about 93% Baikal EBA and approximately 7% steppe mlba/Sintashta-like admixture. Modern-day Tuvanians are the closest ethnicity to the ancient Khövsgöl/Baikal hunter-gatherer samples. The Saka were basically 40-55% Baikal EBA and 45-60% sintashta-like (Which suggests the Scythians were not a homogenous people, rather they were a mixture of several west Eurasians and east Eurasian populations).
You can see this map below which shows Baikal eba (Proto Turkic genetic component).

The second map is degrees of admixture from west Eurasians (Sintashta/steppe mlba in yellow, BMAC (Iranian neolithic farmer) in brown). And east Eurasian populations (Baikal Eba, in light green, and Ancestral North Asian in dark green).
