Model your Balkan ancestry using Global25 coordinates - Western & Eastern Paleo-Balkan, E. Roman Anatolian & Slavic components
Estimate your W. & E. Paleo-Balkan, E. Roman Anatolian, Slavic and Other ancestry, then compare to 289 Balkan reference populations.
Admixture Results
One source per line: Name,PC1,PC2,...PC25. Edit names, swap coordinates, add or remove lines.
Fit distance- lower is better, <0.02 is good
W. Paleo-Balkan - Pre-Roman western Balkan ancestry. Average of Southern Illyrian, Northern Illyrian, Illyrian, Dardanian, and Bronze Age Western Balkan ancient DNA samples. Highest in Albanians and western Balkan populations.
E. Paleo-Balkan - Pre-Roman eastern Balkan ancestry. Average of Thracian and Dacian ancient DNA samples. Highest in Bulgarians and eastern Balkan populations.
E. Roman Anatolian - Ancestry associated with the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire and Anatolian populations. Highest in Greeks and populations with strong Byzantine influence.
Slavic - Ancestry from medieval Slavic migrations into the Balkans. Derived from Baltic Bronze Age samples representing the Proto-Slavic source population.
Other - Non-local ancestry not captured by the four main sources. Average of South Asian proxy and Turkic samples. Primarily detects Roma and Ottoman-era Turkic admixture. Most Balkan populations score 0%.

Pre-Slavic Profile
This mode removes the Slavic component from your coordinates and shows what your pre-Slavic ancestry profile would look like. Higher Slavic % means less stable results.
Edit the pre-Slavic source populations. One per line: Name,PC1,...PC25
Fit distance- higher values indicate more noise from Slavic subtraction

E. Roman Anatolian - Ancestry associated with the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire and Anatolian populations.
