Ancestrify Lab, free ancient-DNA tools, right in your browser.

01 · TOOL LIBRARY

A raw DNA file

The export your testing company lets you download. Choose it once and read it three ways on our servers, with a free account.

Raw DNA File Check

Count your DNA file's SNPs and see what it works for before you order anything.

Upload a raw DNA export: the company and chip, the SNPs on every chromosome and the share called, and which of our analyses can read it.

Y-DNA Clade Finder

Find your paternal line, the branch passed from father to son.

Upload your raw genetic data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA or MyHeritage, or a whole-genome VCF, and find your Y-chromosome haplogroup clade.

mtDNA Haplogroup Finder

Find your maternal line, the branch you inherited from your mother.

Upload your raw genetic data or a whole-genome VCF and find your mitochondrial haplogroup, the maternal line that passes from mother to child almost unchanged.

Global25 coordinates

A row of 25 numbers that places your DNA among ancient and modern populations. Paste it and these tools read it in your browser.

Admixture Lab

See your ancestry as a mix of ancient and modern populations, in percentages.

Paste your Global25 coordinates once and read them two ways: as a mixture of populations from a curated calculator or your own, and as your closest populations by distance.

In-browser · Free

Open tool

PCA Analysis

See where you land on a chart among ancient and modern people.

Explore PCA-based ancestry plots and project your G25 coordinates onto curated era views beside ancient and modern samples, or fit a custom PCA over your own rows.

In-browser · Free

Open tool

G25 Distance Calculator

Find the populations genetically closest to you, from the Late Bronze Age to today.

Paste a Global25 coordinate and rank your closest reference populations by Euclidean distance across all 25 dimensions, in any of six eras.

In-browser · Free

Open tool

G25 Proximity Heatmap

See your closest populations coloured on a map, region by region.

Paste a Global25 coordinate and see every reference population of a region coloured by its genetic distance to you, interpolated over the land between them, in sixteen present-day regions plus Ancestrify's own eras.

Open tool

Average G25 Tool

Turn several coordinate rows into one average row you can copy.

Paste multiple Global25 coordinate rows and create a precise, copy-ready coordinate-wise average entirely in your browser.

In-browser · Free

Open tool

G25 Authenticity Check

See whether a coordinate row looks original, edited or rounded.

Inspect Global25 coordinates for the numeric fingerprints of original projections, simulations, manual edits, and precision loss.

Open tool

A haplogroup

The name of a paternal or maternal line, as a DNA test reports it. Look it up without an account.

Haplogroup Atlas

Map who carried your haplogroup long ago, and where it is found today.

Name any Y-DNA or mtDNA branch and see its ancient carriers at their burial sites, the countries where tested families carry it today, and a lineage path through its ancestor branches.

In-browser · Free

Open tool

Y-DNA Haplotree

Find any paternal branch and see the lines above and below it.

Browse the whole Y-chromosome haplogroup tree: over 109,000 named branches with their defining SNPs, tester counts, and the countries where each lineage is found.

In-browser · Free

Open tool

mtDNA Haplotree

Find any maternal branch and see the lines above and below it.

Browse the full mitochondrial haplogroup tree: every maternal branch from the root lineages down, with defining mutations and the countries where tested lines appear.

Nothing yet

No DNA data needed. Explore the ancient DNA record or test ideas on a public panel.

Ancient Sample Atlas

Explore thousands of ancient people on one map, by time, place and culture.

Every dated, geolocated individual in the AADR ancient DNA panel on one map: filter by year, country, haplogroup or culture, and see which samples carry a Global25 projection.

In-browser · Free

Open tool

AdmixTools 2 Lab

Test how ancient populations are related, with the methods published research uses.

Run real ADMIXTOOLS 2 methods (f2, f3, f4, D, qpWave, qpAdm and admixture graphs) on the AADR Human Origins reference panel, computed on our servers.
