OpenAI interpretation:

�� What it means for you:
You are genetically very close to several Iron Age Gaul samples — particularly those from:

Grand Est (Alsace–Lorraine area): likely reflecting a La Tène and Hallstatt gene pool with Central European ties.

Hauts-de-France: Belgic/Celtic fringe zone with overlap toward modern Belgium and north France.

Your best match (I20817, Cov 69.3%, Distance 0.0349) is excellent quality, and such a low distance suggests:

�� You likely share significant ancestry with Iron Age Celtic populations of northeast France, perhaps similar to the Remi, Treveri, or Lingones.

This supports a strong northwestern Continental Celtic genetic profile, common in British Isles–French–German mixed ancestries (which fits your known background).

This is your G25 scaled admixture model showing how well your DNA fits as a mixture of Iron Age French populations — and your distance of 0.01999 is excellent, meaning the model fits very well.

�� Your Model Breakdown:
Source % Interpretation
FRA_GrandEst_IA 44.4% Northeast France (Alsace–Lorraine) — strong La Tène Celtic influence, with Central European affinity
FRA_Hauts-de-France_IA 36.1% Northern France — Belgic Gauls, close to ancient populations of Belgium and southern Britain
FRA_Occitanie_IA 13.2% Southern France — more Mediterranean-shifted, with Iberian and Ligurian contact
FRA_Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur_IA 6.3% Southeastern France — slight input from Liguro-Celtic or Greek-influenced regions like Massalia (Marseille)

✅ Interpretation:
This model suggests that you’re:

Primarily descended from Iron Age Celts of northeast and northern France, especially from the Grand Est and Hauts-de-France regions.

With some minor southern input, possibly reflecting:

Ancient trade and movement through the Rhone corridor

Roman-era population blending

Older Neolithic/Mediterranean components retained in southern France

This matches your distances shown earlier, where your closest matches were Grand Est and Belgic Iron Age individuals.

"FRA_Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur_IA 6.3% Southeastern France — slight input from Liguro-Celtic or Greek-influenced regions like Massalia (Marseille)"

It's a bad interpretation:
the term "Ligurian" was used by the Greeks to refer both to Gauls from the southeast of France and other populations.

There are currently no studies that demonstrate supposedly "Greek" contributions in this "FRA_Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur_IA" samples.

Furthermore, the pseudo-Basque profile is found equally in Jron Age French/Gaulish samples from the Northeast, East, and Southeast.

All these Provençal Iron Age Sample are basque shifted, some are more central french to basque shift (intermediate).

This is a sample from Marne with a basque shift

Gaulish from Marne (North Eastern France):

"FRA_Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur_IA 6.3% Southeastern France — slight input from Liguro-Celtic or Greek-influenced regions like Massalia (Marseille)"

It's a bad interpretation:
the term "Ligurian" was used by the Greeks to refer both to Gauls from the southeast of France and other populations.

There are currently no studies that demonstrate supposedly "Greek" contributions in this "FRA_Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur_IA" samples.

Furthermore, the pseudo-Basque profile is found equally in Jron Age French/Gaulish samples from the Northeast, East, and Southeast.

All these Provençal Iron Age Sample are basque shifted, some are more central french to basque shift (intermediate).

This is a sample from Marne with a basque shift

I thought that the Ligurian and Greek admix statement was a bit strange. Overall I just thought "eff it" just post it anyway.

[celticdragongod]

OpenAI interpretation:

�� What it means for you:
You are genetically very close to several Iron Age Gaul samples — particularly those from:

Grand Est (Alsace–Lorraine area): likely reflecting a La Tène and Hallstatt gene pool with Central European ties.

Hauts-de-France: Belgic/Celtic fringe zone with overlap toward modern Belgium and north France.

Your best match (I20817, Cov 69.3%, Distance 0.0349) is excellent quality, and such a low distance suggests:

�� You likely share significant ancestry with Iron Age Celtic populations of northeast France, perhaps similar to the Remi, Treveri, or Lingones.

This supports a strong northwestern Continental Celtic genetic profile, common in British Isles–French–German mixed ancestries (which fits your known background).

This is your G25 scaled admixture model showing how well your DNA fits as a mixture of Iron Age French populations — and your distance of 0.01999 is excellent, meaning the model fits very well.

�� Your Model Breakdown:
Source % Interpretation
FRA_GrandEst_IA 44.4% Northeast France (Alsace–Lorraine) — strong La Tène Celtic influence, with Central European affinity
FRA_Hauts-de-France_IA 36.1% Northern France — Belgic Gauls, close to ancient populations of Belgium and southern Britain
FRA_Occitanie_IA 13.2% Southern France — more Mediterranean-shifted, with Iberian and Ligurian contact
FRA_Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur_IA 6.3% Southeastern France — slight input from Liguro-Celtic or Greek-influenced regions like Massalia (Marseille)

✅ Interpretation:
This model suggests that you’re:

Primarily descended from Iron Age Celts of northeast and northern France, especially from the Grand Est and Hauts-de-France regions.

With some minor southern input, possibly reflecting:

Ancient trade and movement through the Rhone corridor

Roman-era population blending

Older Neolithic/Mediterranean components retained in southern France

This matches your distances shown earlier, where your closest matches were Grand Est and Belgic Iron Age individuals.

I did a screenshot of my original post and typed:

"I made a thread in a genetics forum. And also check out my results too."

Cool thanks!

OpenAI response:

This output appears to be from a genetic or population genetics analysis, possibly using PCA-based distances or admixture modeling to compare a sample labeled CDG_scaled against a reference panel of ancient or modern individuals from France (prefix FRA) and nearby regions. Here's how to interpret the results:

Overall Structure
Closest Matches to CDG_scaled:
These are listed by increasing distance (closer means more genetically similar), with IDs like FRA_GrandEst_IA:I20817__BC_250__Cov_69.30%. This tells you:

Region: GrandEst, Normandy, or Hauts-de-France (all in northern France).

Time period & coverage: BC_250 = roughly 250 BCE (Iron Age), Cov = sequencing coverage.

ID: e.g. I20817 is a specific sample identifier.

Distance: A measure of genetic distance to your target (CDG_scaled).

Top-Level Interpretation:
1. Genetic Affinity
Your sample CDG_scaled is most closely related to individuals from Grand Est and Normandy.

The closest match is FRA_GrandEst_IA:I20817 with a distance of 0.0252, which is quite close in PCA/admixture terms.

2. Regional Breakdown
From the second part:

Target: CDG_scaled
Distance: 1.8927% / 0.01892655
Regional Contributions:

61.4% Grand Est (Iron Age)

28.0% Normandy (Iron Age)

10.6% Hauts-de-France (Iron Age)

This is essentially a proportional ancestry estimate, showing the sample likely had the majority of its ancestry from Iron Age individuals from Grand Est, with significant components from Normandy and a smaller part from Hauts-de-France.

3. Key Contributing Individuals
A more granular breakdown:

~37.6% from I20817 (Grand Est, 250 BCE)

~28.0% total from two Normandy individuals: UN85 and UN19

Smaller contributions from other individuals (from all three regions)

Conclusion
The genetic profile CDG_scaled is:

Primarily related to Iron Age populations of northeastern France (Grand Est)

With substantial admixture from Normandy, and a minor amount from northern France (Hauts-de-France)

Most similar to individual I20817, suggesting it might represent a local population from around 250 BCE in the Grand Est region

You may want to specify that the admixture tool being used is G25. In my case, previously in the conversation I mentioned that I was using G25.

AI response:

Your G25 genetic modeling results from the ancient DNA comparison tool suggest a very strong connection to Iron Age (IA) populations from northeastern France, especially the Grand Est region, as well as Normandy and Hauts-de-France.

Breakdown of Results
�� Top Matching Ancient Samples (Closest Genetic Distance)
The lowest genetic distances (all below 0.05) indicate strong affinity. Your closest match:

FRA_GrandEst_IA:I20817 (BC 250, Cov 69.3%) — Distance: 0.0252

This is an Iron Age individual from Grand Est ~250 BC. You share a substantial amount of DNA with this sample, indicating a deep ancestral link.

Other closely matching individuals include:

FRA_GrandEst_IA:I19362 (BC 250)

FRA_Hauts-de-France_IA:att3 (BC 275)

FRA_Normandy_IA:UN85 and UN19 (BC 100)

These are all late Iron Age Celtic individuals, most likely associated with La Tène culture or related regional groups in what is now northern and northeastern France.

�� Regional Ancestry Composition
Target: CDG_scaled (You)

61.4% Grand Est IA — Heavy Iron Age northeastern French ancestry (Champagne, Lorraine, Alsace)

28.0% Normandy IA — Western Celtic influence

10.6% Hauts-de-France IA — Northernmost Celtic France

These regions reflect strong Celtic Gallic roots, specifically Belgae, Lingones, Leuci, or Mediomatrici tribes that lived in these areas before Romanization.

�� Sample Contribution Breakdown
Your modeled ancestry also includes individual contributions from:

Region / Individual Period Contribution
I20817 (Grand Est) BC 250 37.6%
UN85 (Normandy) BC 100 16.4%
UN19 (Normandy) BC 100 11.6%
I19362 (Grand Est) BC 250 8.4%
Gox287B (Grand Est) BC 500 7.8%
COL11 (Grand Est) BC 340 6.8%
BFT228 (Hauts-de-France) BC 337 6.2%
att52 (Hauts-de-France) BC 275 4.4%
I19359 (Grand Est) BC 250 0.8%

�� Interpretation
You have a very strong Iron Age Celtic French profile, especially tied to the northeastern quadrant of France, with additional influences from Normandy and Picardy regions. This is consistent with Gallic ancestry before Roman conquest (~50 BC). If you're French (especially from northern/northeastern France), this is a very typical and historically grounded genetic signature.
