What is your favorite genetic admixture calculator?

K15 split europeans in 5 different components, and IMHO it gives a better mixed4 populations oracles, better than the infamous K13.

Right now, we just have to keep using G25, gedmatch isn't that reliable comparing to it.

I agree. K13 is crap man it tells me I am Irish.

I guess it depends on the region. Dodecad K12b seems to give the most meaningful results for Anatolia&Caucasus and surrounding areas.

I guess it depends on the region. Dodecad K12b and Eurogenes K13 seems to give the most meaningful results for Anatolia&Caucasus and surrounding areas.

I changed my mind to Dodecad V3 or PuntDNAL global. I think there is a reason Dodecad V3 is the default calculator instead of K12B.

Dodecad V3 says I'm closest to Argyll Scottish and K12B says mixed_Germanic then Dutch. I have nothing against the Dutch but I have no Dutch ancestors so that makes no sense.

I like Eurogenes k36 the best only it doesn’t have oracles. If it had oracles it would be perfect.

[Arianit]

Eurogenes doesn't even have a sample for Albanian which isn't relevant to me. Dodecad V3 is better in this regard.

MDLP. The higher number of divisions means better accuracy.

For me, the most accurate has been the oracle for Eurogenes K13:

I’m ~37.5% Dutch, 25% Heptanesian (Greek), 25% Danish, ~12.5% German.

The oracle for Dodecad K12b is not accurate for me and suggests that my half Dutch, half Greek mother is Irish/Scottish and Jewish/Druze. This is not supported by our family history, and on MyHeritage our DNA doesn’t match anyone with those ethnicities.

But I don’t think this is the fault of Dodecad K12b, because when I use its coordinates to compare us to ancient populations, the results are fairly accurate:

The ancient Greek percentages are a little bit lower, but I think this is because of the Mardaites (who were made up of various Middle Eastern ethnicities) and the Venetians who later settled in the Ionian Islands (where my Greek ancestors are from).

My favourites are Eurogenes k13 and k15
