Buy a Global25 (G25) analysis: distances, admixture and PCA across six eras

Global25 is a coordinate system, not a company product: the 25 numbers come from the independent Eurogenes service, and an entire free ecosystem exists for basic runs. What you buy here is the worked analysis: a curated six-era reference workspace built from 30,386 individual samples, every lens computed and presented so it can be argued with, cinematic exports rendered on our servers, and the option of an analyst hand-building a source panel around your row alone.

Price

€29.99, paid once. Add-ons are optional and one-time; there is no subscription and no credit system.

Input

Your official Global25 coordinate row, pasted at checkout, or a raw DNA file with the Coordinate Concierge (+€15, a pass-through of the provider's fee)

Reference set

1,535 curated populations from 30,386 individual samples, across six eras from the Late Bronze Age (3000 BC) to the modern day

The three lenses

Closest populations by 25-dimension Euclidean distance, per era; nMonte-style admixture models with the fit distance and the full source panel published; PCA among ancient and modern individuals

Included free

Notable Matches: your distance to 172 published ancient individuals, from Ice Age hunters to named historical figures, each with its source paper cited

Afterwards

The Personalized Calculator (€10): an analyst hand-builds a source panel around your own coordinates and publishes it as a second version beside the standard result

1. Have coordinates? Paste the official scaled row at checkout and the analysis runs automatically. Unsure whether a row is genuine? The free authenticity check reads its fingerprint first.
2. Only have a raw file? Upload it and add the Coordinate Concierge (€15): with your explicit consent we obtain the official row from the independent Eurogenes service, typically within a few days, and it stays yours.
3. Pay once by card, in euros. Nothing is charged before the input has passed its checks.
4. Your report publishes in your private dashboard with every lens, era by era, and you are emailed exactly once.
5. Optionally deepen it: the Personalized Calculator (€10) or the Calculator Explorer (€10) at checkout or any time after.

A coordinate fit has no p-value and cannot reject a model: it always returns percentages, and the fit distance is a gap measure, not a test. Distances measure resemblance to population averages, never descent from anyone who lived. Where a claim needs formal testing, the separate qpAdm analysis is the instrument built for it; the two products answer different questions on purpose. And the free Lab tools genuinely cover casual exploration: nobody should buy this before pasting their row into the free distance calculator first.

  How much does a G25 analysis cost?

  €29.99, paid once, with no subscription and no credits. Optional one-time add-ons: the Coordinate Concierge (€15, a pass-through of the coordinate provider's per-kit fee) if you upload a raw file instead of pasting a row; the Personalized Calculator (€10), a source panel hand-built around your own coordinates; the Calculator Explorer (€10); and Fast compute (€10).

  Do I need Global25 coordinates before ordering?

  No. There are two ways in. If you already have your official row, paste it at checkout and the analysis runs automatically. If you only have a raw DNA file, upload it and add the Coordinate Concierge: with your consent we obtain the official coordinates from the independent Eurogenes G25 Requests service on your behalf, typically within a few days, and the full analysis runs the moment they arrive. The row is yours to keep and reuse anywhere.

• 03

  Why can't you just compute my coordinates instantly?

  Because nobody can, honestly. Global25 coordinates are produced by one independent service, run by the author of the Eurogenes blog; no testing company and no analysis site computes them. Tools that promise instant coordinates simulate a row from other calculators' output, and a simulated row describes the conversion, not your genome. Ancestrify only ever analyses official rows.

• 04

  What exactly do I receive?

  Three lenses across six eras from the Late Bronze Age to today, against 1,535 curated populations drawn from 30,386 individual samples: your closest populations by Euclidean distance per era; nMonte-style admixture models against curated source panels, each reported with its fit distance and the full list of populations offered, used and unused; and PCA views placing your coordinate among ancient and modern individuals. Plus Notable Matches free with every report: your distance to 172 published ancient individuals. Cinematic videos of each lens render on our servers and are yours to download.

• 05

  Is G25 the same as qpAdm?

  No, and the difference matters. A Global25 analysis is coordinate arithmetic: fast, transparent and always answering, with a fit distance but no p-value. qpAdm is a formal statistical test on allele frequencies that can reject a model outright. They are separate products because they answer different questions; many customers eventually run both.

• 06

  What is the Personalized Calculator?

  For €10, one-time, an analyst hand-builds a Global25 source panel around your own coordinates: choosing and stress-testing the populations that actually explain your row rather than fitting you to a published regional calculator. It publishes as a second version of your admixture result beside the standard one, and you switch between them freely. No other service we have compared ourselves with advertises this.

• 07

  Can I try the tools before paying?

  Yes, and you should. The free Lab runs the same family of arithmetic in your browser with no account: the distance calculator, the admixture calculator with curated era panels, and the PCA viewer. The paid analysis adds the curated six-era workspace, the videos, Notable Matches, the analyst options and a report that stays in your account.
