K47 Proprietary Model
Medieval & Modern Ancestry Report
This report uses a two-step process. First, your raw DNA is processed through our proprietary K47 admixture model, a custom calculator with 47 genetic components, to produce your personal K47 coordinate profile. Then, those coordinates are compared via NNLS against the pre-computed K47 profiles of 938 ancient and modern samples belonging to 128 reference populations, to find which combination of populations best explains your genetic makeup. The result is a dual-era profile revealing your affinities to medieval populations, Migration Period, Viking Age, Carolingian, Ottoman and more, and to present-day population groups worldwide.
Your results are analyzed by Claude, Anthropic's AI model, which provides a personalized narrative explaining what your medieval and modern components reveal about your ancestry, historical migrations, and population heritage.
Your result is computed by genetic similarity: we measure the mathematical distance between your genetic profile and each reference population, then find the mixture that best reproduces your DNA. Every reference population in our panel uses real, official G25 coordinates (published academic ancient-DNA studies and the official Global25 dataset) — none of our reference data is simulated or synthetic. The reference populations are statistical proxies, not proof of literal descent from any one group. Large, distinct signals (your broad continental ancestry) are reliable, while genetically overlapping populations are harder to separate cleanly, so the fine detail is more of an educated estimate, especially if you are heavily mixed. We tell you this plainly because honesty matters more than a flashy number.

🔬 What's in your report
Your DNA is decomposed through three complementary admixture runs for a complete dual-era picture:
Collaboration with M. Marques
The reference dataset was curated by M. Marques, an amateur historian and genetic genealogy enthusiast active in the community. It includes carefully selected medieval archaeological samples and modern population references, processed through our proprietary K47 NNLS admixture model , the same engine as our K203 Ancient Civilizations Report.
Compatible DNA Providers
100% Automated & Private
Your DNA file is processed entirely by our secure algorithms. No human ever sees your raw data. The file is permanently deleted immediately after processing.

How the K47 + NNLS Pipeline Works
The analysis runs in two steps. First, your raw DNA file is processed through our proprietary K47 admixture model to generate your personal 47-component genetic profile. Second, that profile is compared via Non-Negative Least Squares (NNLS) against the pre-computed K47 profiles of 938 ancient and modern samples across 128 reference populations, finding the weighted combination of populations that best explains your genetic makeup.
Step 1, K47 Admixture
Your raw DNA is run through our custom K47 admixture model, a proprietary calculator with 47 genetic components, each corresponding to a historically defined population or migration event. The output is your personal 47-dimensional genetic coordinate vector.
Step 2, NNLS Comparison
Your K47 coordinates are then compared via NNLS against the pre-computed K47 profiles of 938 ancient and modern individual samples belonging to 128 reference populations. The algorithm finds the weighted combination of populations that best reconstructs your profile, with no negative values allowed, ensuring biologically meaningful results.
Ongoing Annual Updates
The K47 panel is reviewed and updated annually to incorporate new studies, correct outdated attributions and add newly excavated populations as they enter the scientific literature.
Why K47?, The "K" stands for the number of admixture components (47), a common convention in population genetics (K12, K15, K36…). A higher K gives finer resolution but also risks overfitting and instability. 47 was chosen to clearly separate Migration Period Germanic tribes from Viking-Age Scandinavians, or Almohade Berbers from Mozarabic Iberians, without splitting populations so finely that results become unreliable. The NNLS step then uses these 47-dimensional profiles to compare you against 128 historically documented reference populations from across the world.
