What is the Mdlp project?
The MDLP Project on Gedmatch is a free calculator that can provide additional insight into your ancestry by giving you an admixture, or ethnicity, estimate. In this post, learn the basics about this tool and how to learn more about it. The MDLP tool is one of my favorite calculators on Gedmatch.

What is Neolithic on Gedmatch? The Neolithic Period, or the New Stone Age, began about 12,000 years ago. Neolithic population groups on Gedmatch Admixture calculators, such as the Atlantic Mediterranean Neolithic group on the MDLP World 22, are connected to studies of ancient DNA.
What is Eurogenes K13?
The Eurogenes K13 Spreadsheet The Oracle spreadsheet lets you examine how each cluster of DNA samples within the project is aligned with 13 broad populations. Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough of using the Oracle spreadsheets to interpret your results.
How do I use GEDmatch admixture?
After you click on the tool link from the main dashboard, you will be taken to a page where you have to select the admixture project you would like to use to analyze your DNA. There are several different projects, many with different calculators within the project. You can also choose how to process your results.

Are there any recent discoveries that are not reflected in MDLP?
There have been recent discoveries of archaic DNA that are not reflected in MDLP. And more people have tested their DNA from diverse regions that aren’t represented within the projects. However, the calculators can be very interesting to explore. Verenich expanded the geographic reach of his project through 2012.
