Interactive Era Map
Explore Neolithic, Bronze Age and Medieval population baselines on a live admixture map.
KurdishDNA: Genetics & History
A genetic reference for Kurdistan, built from samples people contributed themselves. Place your paternal line on the Y-tree, model your ancestry against Neolithic, Bronze Age and Medieval populations, and see which regions sit closest to you.

What the site does
Regions & Distances
Which provinces and which ethnolinguistic groups sit closest to you, across seven countries.
Y-DNA Clade Finder
Scan raw genotypes against YFull and ISOGG to place your paternal line on the tree.
Kurdish Regional Samples
A consented reference catalogue spanning every region of Kurdistan, filterable and searchable.
Free qpAdm Models
Request a custom qpAdm model and track your ticket from pending through to completed.
Your Ancestry
Model your ancestry against the populations of each era, and see where those populations sat.
Regions & Distances
Two readings of the same coordinates: which ethnolinguistic groups sit closest to you, and which provinces do. A province is measured against every group living there, and reported by whichever comes closest.
Free qpAdm Model Request Portal
Submit your raw DNA or G25 coordinates to request a custom R admixtools qpAdm model performed by me for FREE.

1-Week Modeling Commitment
We will try our best to model your sample within 1 week. If we are unable to model your sample successfully, we will notify you directly by email.
Required to receive ticket updates and email notification if modeling fails.
Click or Drag & Drop Raw DNA File
Supports 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FTDNA, EIGENSTRAT (.txt, .csv, .zip, .ind, .snp, .geno)
Included qpAdm Models
We will attempt to run Neolithic and Bronze Age qpAdm models for your sample. If your file quality & SNP coverage are good enough, we will also model your sample for the Medieval era.

🔒 Your DNA File Is Never Stored
Your raw DNA file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed entirely in memory, and discarded as soon as your result is returned. It is never written to disk, never saved to our database, and never shared.
Upload Raw DNA File
Upload your raw DNA (23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FTDNA, VCF) for verified 100% accuracy
Discovery Note: Depending on your private mutations and sequencing depth (WGS / Big Y-700), you might even discover and open a brand-new downstream subclade on the phylogenetic tree.

Project Credits & Community Hub
Honoring the researchers, curators, and developers powering Kurdish DNA research. Connect with our official platforms and community.
Core Contributors & Development
Created the Kurdish DNA Web Portal and implemented interactive tools including G25 map admixture modeling, qpAdm simulation pipelines, 4-Era genetic distance engines, and UI architecture.
Curated and verified the G25 coordinates, ancient population vectors, comparative genetic matrices, and reference sample datasets used across our calculators.
Researched and structured the comprehensive Kurdish paternal clade census (355 samples across 138 subclades) with phylogenetic tree links and frequency analysis.
Provided key assistance and technical support for implementing the Admix calculators and ancestry modeling tools on the portal.
Official Channels & Community
