G25 ancestry calculator made for balkan people
Hey all,
I put together a simple ancestry calculator for people from the Balkans. If you have your G25 scaled coordinates, you just paste them in and it breaks down your ancestry into four components:
- Illyrian
- Thracian
- Eastern Roman Anatolian
- Balto-Slavic
It also shows you which modern and ancient populations you're closest to. There are 136 reference populations in there, regional breakdowns for Macedonians, Albanians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbs, Romanians, and a bunch of ancient groups (Iron Age Illyrians, Thracians, ancient Macedonians, Dardanians, etc.).
The solver uses a hybrid approach to deal with the fact that Illyrian and Thracian are genetically pretty close, a straight 4-way solve would give you unstable Illyrian/Thracian ratios that bounce around wildly. Instead it first solves a stable 3-way model with a combined Paleo-Balkan source, then splits that into Illyrian and Thracian. Keeps things sensible.
There's also a Pre-Slavic mode that removes the Slavic component and shows you what your pre-migration profile looks like compared to ancient populations. Plus an interactive PCA plot if you want to visualize where you sit.
