MYDNATLAS — deep DNA ancestry analysis against ancient and modern populations
Compare Your DNA to 29,688
Ancient Samples
Upload a raw DNA file or paste G25 coordinates, and see which archaeological populations you sit closest to.
5,644 modern reference populations, 34+ analysis tools, and standard G25 coordinates you can export anywhere.
Explore the Bigger Story Behind Your DNA
Consumer tests hand you a pie chart. MYDNATLAS hands you the comparison behind it, which archaeological populations you sit closest to, how far away each one is, and how that picture changes era by era.
Compare Ancient and Modern Matches
Every match is ranked by raw genetic distance against 5,644 modern reference populations and 29,688 ancient samples, you see the number, not just the label, so you can judge how close "closest" really is.
Follow Your Ancestry Through Time
Re-run the same comparison inside each period, Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and on to the present, and watch which populations you resemble change as history moves.
Explore Everything in One Place
PCA plots, multi-way admixture models, ancestry timelines, migration paths, a proximity heatmap, Y-DNA and mtDNA haplogroups, SNP-based traits, Neanderthal and Denisovan estimates, and AtlasOracle AI. Every one of them on every paid plan.
Results in Minutes, Not Weeks
Upload a raw file from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FTDNA, LivingDNA, Nebula or CircleDNA, or a whole-genome VCF. Conversion to G25 is usually done in minutes, and the analyses run themselves from there.
From DNA File to Deep Ancestry
Already tested with 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage? You're three steps away from tens of thousands of years of ancestry.
Upload Your DNA
Upload the raw file from your testing provider, or paste G25 coordinates you already have. Conversion to G25 costs $15 and is usually finished within minutes.

We Analyse Everything
Your coordinates are compared against 5,644 modern reference populations and 29,688 ancient samples, then run through the full toolkit, closest matches, admixture models, ancestry timelines, archaic percentages.
42 regional calculators plus the global panel, all computed for you.
Explore & Understand
Interactive maps show where you plot among world populations. Timeline views reveal how your ancestry shifts era by era. AtlasOracle AI explains any result in plain language, just ask.

What is G25?
Think of it as a coordinate system for ancestry: 25 numbers from a principal component analysis that place you in the genetic landscape of humanity. We compare yours against 29,688 ancient samples using raw L2 distance, the same measure the rest of the G25 community uses.
Davidski G25 compatible, same coordinate space as Vahaduo, G25Studio & Genoplot. Your coordinates work identically across all G25 tools.
One Platform, Every Answer
Thirty-four tools, grouped by the question they answer. Every one of them is included on every paid plan, the plans differ on how many samples you can bring in, never on which tools you can open.
Interactive Migration History
Tens of thousands of years of human migration, watch populations move across continents, hover for details, explore by era.
Find Your Origins
Closest Populations
Your nearest matches across 5,644 modern reference populations and 29,688 ancient samples, ranked by raw genetic distance, with the distance shown.
PCA Plots
See yourself on an interactive genetic map, populations clustered near you are your closest relatives.
Periodical Breakdown
How your ancestry changed era by era, from the Paleolithic to the present, across 11 time periods.
Model Your Ancestry
Multi-Way Fits
What mix of populations explains my DNA? Model it as a 2–5 population combination with a fit score, against modern populations, or inside any of ten ancient periods from the Paleolithic on.
HG/Farmer Split
Your ratio of ancient hunter-gatherer, Neolithic farmer, and steppe herder ancestry, the building blocks of modern populations.
Archaic Admixture
Your Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA percentage. Most non-African people carry 1–4%, see where you fall.
Ancestry Affinity
Which populations were built from the same deep components as you, a different question from who is simply nearest.

Context-Aware Intelligence
AtlasOracle knows what you're viewing and provides relevant insights. Available in every analysis tool with full conversation memory.
Built for Serious Ancestry Exploration
Your coordinates are compared against 5,644 modern reference populations and 29,688 ancient samples, every ancient row drawn from published, peer-reviewed archaeogenetic studies.
Where the data comes from
PCA plots, multi-way fits, ghost modelling, haplogroups and the rest are included on every paid plan. Plans differ on how many samples you can bring in, never on which tools you can open.
Every tool on every plan
Periodical breakdown re-runs your comparison inside each of 11 archaeological periods, so you can see the profile shift rather than read a single frozen number.

Your Coordinates, Your Tools
MYDNATLAS produces standard Global25 (G25) scaled coordinates using the same PCA methodology and reference framework that powers the broader G25 ecosystem. Your results work everywhere G25 coordinates are accepted.
Full G25 Compatibility
Export your coordinates and use them directly in Vahaduo, Genoplot, G25Studio, nMonte, or any tool that accepts standard G25 input. No conversion, no reformatting, just paste and go.
Import From Anywhere
Already have G25 coordinates? Paste them straight into MYDNATLAS for instant analysis across 34+ tools, 29,688 ancient samples, and 5,644 modern populations. If you've been running models in Vahaduo, you already have what you need.
Built on the Same Standard
G25 is the community standard for genetic ancestry analysis, a 25-dimensional PCA coordinate space calibrated against thousands of ancient and modern reference genomes. MYDNATLAS uses the same scaled coordinate format, the same principal component framework, and the same reference alignment. Bring coordinates in from any G25-compatible source, or take yours out to use with any G25-compatible tool. No lock-in.
