How to Read Eurogenes K13 Oracle Results

The numbers game

So despite the fact that The Legal Genealogist keeps saying, over and over, that the admixture percentages we meet in all the autosomal Deoxyribonucleic acid test results are only practiced for cocktail party conversation, the fact is, hey, at this fourth dimension of yr there are a lot of cocktail parties.

And, of class, a lot of admixture tools. One of 'em simply got updated, and I couldn't resist taking a wait.

The tool is the Eurogenes K13 admixture tool; it's accessed through my favorite third-party utility site, Gedmatch.

You head over to the site, log in, choose Admixture from the Analyze Your Data options, select Eurogenes from the drop-down carte du jour and "Admixture Proportions (with link to Oracle)" from the radio push button choices, and so click on continue.

Enter your kit number at the top, select Eurogenes K13 from the drop down list for figurer models and click continue over again.

And and so yous await while it runs through 1000 iterations comparing your raw data to the information in its population samples using its algorithms.

The first thing I wanted to meet was how my mother's two brothers and one sister whose kits we take at Gedmatch compare to each other. It was intriguing to see how their results are close — but not exactly the aforementioned.

Eurogenes K13 Admixture / Percentage
	Uncle 1	Uncle 2	Aunt
ane	North Atlantic 48.58	North Atlantic 46.72	North Atlantic 48.03
2	Baltic 23.33	Baltic 23.11	Baltic 25.31
3	West Med 13.43	West Med 13.22	Westward Med 12.63
4	W Asian vi.75	East Med 6.83	Due east Med 5.1
5	E Med 4.27	West Asian 5.seven	W Asian 4.94
6	Red Ocean 1.33	South Asian ii.18	Red Bounding main 1.23
7	Northeast African 0.98	Northeast African 0.99	S Asian i.06
8	E Asian 0.47	Cherry Sea 0.74	Oceanian 0.52
9	South Asian 0.44	Sub-Saharan 0.32	East Asian 0.5
ten	Oceanian 0.34	Oceanian 0.18	Northeast African 0.41

You tin come across from that table that the top five full general areas that make up the admixture of all three are the same — merely not in the same gild and not in exactly the same percentages. (And, past the way, everything under one percent is pretty much just dissonance.)

Then we tin can match them up against the specific sample populations used by this tool to run across which modern populations they're most like. And, again, they're close merely not exactly the same:

Eurogenes K13 Single Population / Distance
	Uncle 1	Uncle 2	Aunt
1	Southeast English 3.28	High german 3.54	Dutch ii.34
two	Dutch three.46	Southeast English 4.23	German iii.29
3	Orcadian 3.99	Dutch 4.86	Southeast English 3.41
4	German language 4.sixteen	Danish 5.66	Danish iii.seven
five	Southwest English 4.19	Orcadian 6.01	Orcadian 4.09
half dozen	Danish iv.22	Southwest English 6.three	Irish five.26
7	Irish 4.48	Irish 6.99	Southwest English 5.41
8	West Scottish 5.04	West Scottish 7.36	West Scottish 5.77
nine	Norwegian 7.53	Norwegian eight.82	Norwegian 6.nineteen
10	Swedish 8.52	French 9.23	Swedish 6.94

And then I wanted to look at a more than personal comparison. The comparison between me, 50% German language and fifty% colonial American mutt, and my half-brother, 50% High german and fifty% Swedish (all 4 of our male parent's grandparents were born in Germany and all four of his mother's grandparents were born in Sweden).

I wanted to see how well this item tool discerns the German language and the Scandinavian in that sort of mix since all of my German results disappeared in the near contempo AncestryDNA admixture analysis, And here's what we got:

Eurogenes K13 Admixture / Percentage
	Half-sister (me)	Half-brother
1	North Atlantic 44.55	N Atlantic 47.3
2	Baltic 26.14	Baltic 30.eight
iii	West Med 12.93	West Med viii.67
4	East Med 6.22	West Asian 6.29
five	West Asian 5.48	East Med 3.81
half-dozen	Cherry-red Bounding main 1.84	Due south Asian 1.27
seven	Southward Asian 1.62	Red Sea 0.89
viii	Northeast African 0.95	Amerindian 0.84
9	Amerindian 0.27	Oceanian 0.07
10	—	Sub-Saharan 0.07

Those are the overall numbers — now for the populations:

Eurogenes K13 Unmarried Population / Distance
	Half-sis (me)	Half-brother
ane	German 2.23	Swedish iii.02
2	Dutch 4.46	Norwegian 4.14
3	Southeast English 6.35	Dutch 5.51
iv	Danish half dozen.viii	German 6.26
five	Orcadian 7.23	Danish 6.88
6	Norwegian 7.91	North Swedish 7.44
seven	Swedish viii.04	Orcadian vii.83
8	Irish 8.26	Irish gaelic 8.37
9	Southwest English 8.35	Southeast English language viii.95
10	West Scottish 8.94	Due west Scottish nine.eighteen

So… this admixture tool spots our German (which appears to look a lot similar Dutch), and spots my brother's Swedish (which appears to look a lot similar Norwegian).

There are two things I find interesting about this tool, since nosotros're chatting now over our cocktails.

The first matter is that, dissimilar the contempo alter in the assay by AncestryDNA (see Deoxyribonucleic acid disappointment, posted 15 September 2013), this admixture calculator doesn't seem to have whatever trouble finding the Germans. I become 'em, my blood brother gets 'em, even my mother'due south siblings get 'em (and that makes sense — we take a Shew line that I expect goes dorsum to some German Schuhs).

And the other thing is how very akin these reference populations must exist for the results to exist coming out the way they are. German and Dutch and Danish all and so very shut, Southeastern and Southwestern English language and Irish and Orcadian.

I still want a magic wand I can moving ridge that would put an ethnic and geographic origin stamp on every segment of my Deoxyribonucleic acid. For that matter, I want a magic wand that will marking each segment with the name of the specific antecedent I inherited it from — maiden names of women included.

Only in the interim, information technology's really fascinating — here around the Lord's day cocktail table — to run into that we're really not French or German or Dutch or Danish.

Nosotros're but man.

And and then much more akin than we are different.
