Complete Analysis Suite

34+ DNA Ancestry Analysis Tools

Every tool below runs against the same reference panel, 5,644 modern reference populations and 29,688 ancient samples, and every one of them is included on every paid plan. The plans differ on how many samples you can bring in, not on which tools you can open.

Core Analysis

Start here: discover your closest genetic matches and see yourself on the global genetic map.

Closest Populations

Find out which modern and ancient populations you're most genetically similar to. This is the best place to start, see your top matches ranked by genetic similarity.

PCA Plots

See yourself on an interactive genetic map. Find out where you cluster among world populations: are you closer to Northern Europeans, Mediterranean peoples, or somewhere in between?

Periodical Breakdown

Watch your ancestry change through time. See who you were closest to in the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, and every era since, all the way to the present day.

Ancestry Affinity

Find populations whose deep ancestry profile looks most like yours. Unlike distance matching, this compares how your Neolithic-era makeup (hunter-gatherer, farmer, steppe) matches other groups.

Advanced Modelling

Model your ancestry as combinations of ancient populations and uncover hidden components.

Multi-Way Fits

Model your ancestry as a mix of 2 to 5 populations and see the best-fitting combinations. Run it against modern populations, or against any of ten ancient periods from the Paleolithic to the Early Modern era. Example: "58% Anatolian Farmer + 25% Western Hunter-Gatherer + 17% Yamnaya Steppe" with a quality score telling you how good the fit is.

Hunter-Gatherer & Farmer Split

Break down your ancestry into the deep components that shaped all modern populations: Western Hunter-Gatherers, Anatolian Farmers, Steppe Herders, and more. See your Neolithic-era DNA recipe.

Archaic Admixture

Find out how much Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA you carry. Most people have 1-4%, see exactly where you fall and what it means for your deep evolutionary history.

Unsupervised Analysis

Skip the reference-population picking entirely. This tool searches the whole panel for the samples nearest to you, with no assumption about which groups should matter, useful when your ancestry does not sit neatly inside one named population.

Ghost Ancestry Mode

Detect "missing" ancestry from populations that went extinct or haven't been sampled yet. If your DNA doesn't fully match any known population, Ghost Mode reveals what's hiding in the gaps.

Ghost Builder

Build hypothetical profiles from samples you already have, with precise percentage control. Reconstruct a missing or deceased parent from a child and the other parent, work an unknown grandparent back out of a pedigree, blend ancient populations to test a migration theory, or assemble a custom reference group. Save what you build and use it across every analysis tool.

Visualisation

Interactive maps, family trees, and charts that reveal your genetic story visually.

DNA Proximity Heatmap

A world map that lights up showing how genetically close you are to populations everywhere. Hover over any province to see your distance, from your closest matches (warm colours) to the most distant (cool colours).

Phylogenetic Tree

See how you branch off from ancient and modern populations in a family-tree-style diagram. Trace the migration paths and population splits that led to your genetic makeup.

Sample Comparison

Compare yourself side-by-side with up to 10 other samples: family members, friends, or historical populations. See how you differ across every analysis tool simultaneously.

AI & Expert Help

Get personalised explanations from AI or book a one-on-one session with a genetic expert.

AtlasOracle AI

Ask questions about your results in plain English: "Why am I closest to Sardinians?" or "What does 2.1% Neanderthal mean?" AtlasOracle understands your specific data and gives personalised explanations.

Video Consultation

Book a 30-minute video call with a genetic ancestry expert who reviews your results, explains what they mean, and answers your questions one-on-one. Available on Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams.

Research Tools

Advanced sandbox tools for building custom models, browsing populations, and running experiments.

GeneLab

Build your own custom ancestry models from scratch. Choose your own reference panels, test migration theories, and run experiments that go beyond the standard analysis tools.

Custom Model

Paste any Target and Source G25 coordinates to run your own distance rankings or mixture models, computed instantly in your browser using the same fit engine as the rest of MYDNATLAS, with nothing stored.

Community Calculators

Build your own ancestry calculator from any set of source populations, save it, and run it against your sample. Share any calculator with a single copy-paste code, or paste a friend's to run their exact model. Everything computed in your browser, nothing stored.

Family Tree

Build a multi-generational genetic family tree using real DNA samples, reference populations, or ghost ancestors. Auto-generate predicted G25 coordinates for any missing relative, predict kids from two parents, reconstruct a deceased parent from their children, estimate grandparents from the family data you have. Track how hunter-gatherer, farmer, and steppe ancestry flows through each generation with biographical profiles and inheritance calculations.

No plan needed

DNA Conversion

Turn your raw DNA file from any major testing company (23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FTDNA, and 10+ more) into the G25 format that powers all MYDNATLAS analysis.

No plan needed

Population Encyclopedia

Browse detailed profiles for all 29,688 ancient samples and 5,644 modern populations: with dates, archaeological context, genetic characteristics, and a location map on every entry that carries coordinates, ancient dig site or modern homeland alike.

Genomic Analysis

Read your file directly: Y-DNA and mtDNA haplogroups, SNP-based trait predictions, and health-relevant variants (informational, not diagnostic).

Haplogroup Analysis

Explore your Y-DNA and mtDNA lineage analysis. Trace your direct paternal and maternal lines back thousands of years and discover which ancient migration routes your ancestors took.

Trait Predictions

See SNP-based predictions for physical traits like eye colour, hair colour, skin pigmentation, and more. Find out what your DNA says about your observable characteristics.

Health Markers

Review research-only observations at selected health-associated sites found in your file. This is not clinical screening, diagnosis, medication guidance, or a negative result.

Chromosome Painting

See your multi-way ancestry proportions laid out across all 22 autosomes and the X, an illustrative view of your genetic mosaic rather than a phased segment-by-segment assay.

Discovery & Timeline

Find genetic matches, trace migration routes, and watch your ancestry evolve across thousands of years.

DNA Matching

Find other MYDNATLAS users who are genetically most similar to you via G25 distance. Discover people with shared heritage and connect with your closest genetic neighbours on the platform.

Ancestry Timeline

Watch an animated timeline of your ancestry evolving across historical periods. See how your genetic profile shifts from the Mesolithic through the Bronze Age to the modern era.

Migration Paths

Visualise the ancestral migration routes that shaped your DNA. Trace the paths your forebears took out of Africa, across continents, and into the regions where your closest populations live today.

Regional Deep-Dive

Explore your genetic affinity broken down by world region. Zoom into Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, or any area and see exactly how your DNA compares to every local population.

Insights & Community

Share your results, download reports, compare with other services, and connect with fellow ancestry explorers.
