World Genetics turns compatible raw DNA data into a visual ancestry report with closest population matches, ancient comparisons, modelled breakdowns, and an interactive heatmap.
Compare your result against modern population averages and ancient samples. The report ranks the closest references first and uses easy distance labels so you can scan what is very close, close, or more distant without staring at raw numbers.
Breakdown models translate your coordinates into readable ancestry components. You can see how broad ancient signals and regional references combine, with percentages, colored bars, and pie charts built for quick comparison.
The heatmap shows where your similarity clusters geographically. Warmer areas point toward closer reference populations, while labels help you understand which sample groups are driving the map.
Download your raw DNA file from your testing company, then upload it on the DNA report page. World Genetics accepts common raw-data exports from major providers.
If you know where your parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents come from, World Genetics can create a population-based estimate. Raw DNA is strongest, but family origins are enough to explore a meaningful first report.
World Genetics compares against a broad modern and ancient reference set, including regional groups, diaspora profiles, and historical samples.
Breakdown models turn coordinates into readable components, so you can see how ancient and regional signals combine instead of only seeing a list of matches. They are useful for comparing different models, checking whether a component is stable, and understanding the broad ingredients behind your closest populations.
The heatmap shows where reference populations are closer or farther from your coordinates. Instead of treating one match as the whole story, it lets you see clusters, neighboring regions, and broader geographic patterns at a glance.
Raw DNA processing happens in your browser. The site creates report coordinates without uploading your raw DNA file to World Genetics servers.
World Genetics is designed for common autosomal raw-data exports from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, and FTDNA. Use the original file from the provider, not a screenshot or PDF.
Yes. You can build an ancestry estimate from known family origins using parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents. Raw DNA is more personal, but the estimate is useful if you know your family origins.
Distances show similarity to population averages or ancient samples. Lower numbers are closer matches; they are a comparison tool, not a literal identity claim.
Large DNA companies usually report broad ethnicity categories. World Genetics focuses on G25-style population similarity, regional references, ancient samples, modelled breakdowns, and map-based exploration.
Yes. Close relatives share a lot of DNA, but not identical segments. Small differences can change closest matches, distances, and breakdown percentages.
No. Ancient samples are similarity references. A close ancient match means your coordinates resemble that sample, not that the sample is a direct ancestor.
The report page includes downloadable report outputs for the results visible in the app, so you can save or share them later.
