qpAdm & Formal StatisticsThe methods behind ancient-DNA papers, on your own DNA.

Test whether your ancestry fits a model of ancient source populations with qpAdm, the AdmixTools method used in published paleogenetics. Let the AI agent pick period-appropriate sources and outgroups and rotate models for you, or set every parameter yourself.

What you can do

Academic-grade genomics, without the command line

Guided mode

Pick your sample and press Auto Analyze: the AI agent chooses period-appropriate sources and valid outgroups, rotates models and reports the ones that fit.

Expert mode

Set the target, sources and outgroups yourself, choose the SNP panel, and tune allsnps, rotation priority, f4mode, inbreed and more.

Results you can judge

A p-value and χ² for the fit, weights with standard errors, a Strong, Fair or Weak verdict, and diagnostics that include a drop-one-source test.

Start from a model

Load one of 112 starter models, most of them curated by region, and its sources and outgroups fill in for you.

More than qpAdm

FST, closest populations and outgroup f3 run from the same workbench, with more methods on the way.

Every run kept

Runs are saved to History. Reopening one costs nothing, and a model reloads into the selectors to run again with a change.

Getting started

From raw file to a tested model

  1. 1

    Upload your DNA

    Add the raw file from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, FamilyTreeDNA, MyHeritage, LivingDNA or WeGene, exactly as you downloaded it.

  2. 2

    Guided or expert

    Let the AI agent build and rotate models, or set sources and outgroups yourself.

  3. 3

    Read and refine

    Check the fit, the weights and the diagnostics, then run it again with a change.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is qpAdm?

A method from the AdmixTools package that tests whether a target can be modelled as a mix of chosen source populations, using outgroups to check the fit. It is behind most ancient-ancestry estimates in published papers.

Can I run it on a free account?

You can open the workbench and explore it, but runs take more Compute Credits than the free monthly allowance. Basic includes 1,000 credits a month and Pro 3,000, and you see an automated analysis’s price before anything is spent.

Will my 23andMe or AncestryDNA file work?

Yes. A consumer chip covers only part of the reference panel, which each result reports as coverage; whole-genome imputation raises that substantially.

What do I get from a run?

A p-value and χ² for the fit, admixture weights with standard errors, a plain Strong, Fair or Weak verdict, and diagnostics showing which sources the model really needs.
