What is your favorite genetic admixture calculator?

The newest one, K15 Eurogenes. Is the most accurate Admix run on Gedmatch. when it comes to the Oracle.

Agreed. The other calculators place me weirdly, but K15 Eurogenes agrees almost completely with McDonald and my ancestral background.

I'm going to have to go with the Eurogenes EUtest? Why? Because its oracle gave my mom 2.4 genetic distance to West & Central Germans

V3 and K12b are the best Dodecads, no? Anyway, I really love the new Eurogenes K15.

I think you should give identifying with the majority of your actual paper trail ancestry a try.

Yeah, the newest one is pretty good.

I see. But don't you think the Admixture Proportions are pretty good?

Yeah, the numbers are okay, but oracle is a mess.

None because there isn't a test that pinpoints specific genes from specific populations. If the tests cannot distinguish between Polish, German, or French then they aren't very accurate. Every single test gives me different results. Some say I'm mostly French, others mostly German, some Danish and Basque, some say there's Italian, other's say there's Cypriot...So the point is you cannot use the tests to determine Specific locations that your ancestors came from. Just because one test says on Oracle that you are 7% Serbian doesn't actually mean that 7% of your ancestors came from Serbia. So the tests are no good, they just tell me what I already know, that I'm mostly Northern Euro and Part Southern Euro.
