See where your G25 coordinates sit on the map
Paste your Global25 coordinates and get a high-resolution map of your genetic distance to 1,585 present-day populations and 4,343 dated archaeological groups, the region your sample fits best, and the ancient individuals closest to you by excavation ID. Five more population maps come with it, free — ten if you take the ancient map too.
Only know your haplogroup?
Your test named two of your lines: your fatherline (Y-DNA) and your motherline (mtDNA). Type one in — no coordinates, no DNA file, a Big Y or YFull SNP welcome — and get a map of the ancient burials that carried your branch: dated graves, not today's distribution, which comes as a table where published samples exist. Women carry no Y, so the motherline is the one every test gives.

Only one parent tested?
From your raw DNA file and that parent's, see the simulated G25 of the side you got from your other parent. Your DNA files never leave your device: both are read in your browser.
Free trial: free until 15 November 2026, with both heatmaps included.
If you try it, we would be very grateful for your feedback: what worked, what didn't, and whether the result matches what you know of your family. You can email us through the Support link at the bottom of this page.
Explore any population, present-day or ancient
No coordinates needed. From the Amhara to the Natufians — see who any population is closest to, today and through time.

Beyond the heatmap above, one order makes all of these. Shown here for reference averages from four regions, English, Han Chinese, Punjabi Jatt and Pima, never a customer sample.
Why pay for this?
Genetic distance itself is free to calculate, and we don't pretend otherwise. Here is what you get here that a distance calculator does not give you.
Five more maps, included
Five populations from your own results each open their own full map — that population's closest matches today and era by era. Take modern and ancient together and it is ten, five of each. At the single-map price, with no further charge.
Real people, not only averages
Behind the group averages sit 17,347 individual burials and 14,662 present-day samples. You get the closest of them by name and published excavation ID, with their Y and mtDNA lines where recorded, so you can see which share your own. An average smooths away the very people who resemble you most.
Your two direct lines, as a map of their own
A separate product, Direct lines: give your Y or mtDNA haplogroup, with no coordinates needed, and it draws every ancient burial on that branch — 16,374 of them carry a line we can place — then where it is found today and its migration route. One line out of thousands of ancestors, and the page says so rather than letting it stand for your ancestry. From $3.
A map, not a column of numbers
Every distance is drawn where that population actually lives, with an estimated origin for your own sample and a circle showing the typical error. Twelve region views, three colour schemes, and 2000-px downloads.
Your ancestry in five periods
Your coordinates modelled as a mix of named ancient peoples, period by period: hunter-gatherers, the first farmers, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age and antiquity, and the medieval world — Natufians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Iron Age Britons and Etruscans among them. Every source shows when its people lived, and names the study that published their genomes, with a link.
Two-way mixes you can check
Which two populations, blended, come closest to you, present-day and ancient era by era, and plainly when a single population fits as well. Every distance, source model and mix is the number Vahaduo computes, so you can paste the same populations in and get the same answer. Nothing here is a black box.
How it works
Paste your scaled coordinates
One line in G25 / Vahaduo format: a name followed by 25 numbers, from the scaled file. Several lines are averaged.

Maps show statistical similarity between coordinate averages. They are not proof of ancestry, ethnicity or origin, and locations are approximate.

No coordinates needed. Pick any of our 1,585 present-day populations or
4,343 ancient groups and get its maps: compared with today's populations and with
ancient groups era by era, its 25 closest matches with distances, and the ancestry-through-time animation.
The population is left out of its own comparison. Great for looking up your parents' or grandparents' groups,
or ancient peoples such as the Natufians. On the ancient side you can also map one named burial rather
than a group: type its excavation ID, such as I14688, or the group name to list its individuals.
I14688; or a group, site or region, such as
Albania BA, to list the individuals buried there. For samples not yet published, type
akbari with a region or period, such as akbari avar or
akbari britain.Your direct lines · from $3
Two of your ancestral lines can be followed back on their own. Your fatherline is your father's father's father, and his, carried on the Y chromosome. Your motherline is your mother's mother's mother, and hers, carried in mitochondrial DNA. Your test already named them both as haplogroups — codes like E-V32 or L3f1b that mean nothing until you see where they have been found.
What you get, for each line
- A map of ancient burials on your branch, from the 16,374 dated graves that carry a readable call on that line, drawn as a density: where the line has been found in the ground — not where it is common today, and not how closely related anyone is to you.
- The ancient dead themselves, listed by excavation ID with their site, date and exact call, so you can look any of them up in the published literature.
- Where the branch is found today, as a separate table by country — and for a fatherline by population too — wherever published present-day samples exist, with the counts shown plainly instead of dressed up as percentages the sampling cannot support.
- A 2000-px download of each map, and a private link valid for 12 months.
Priced per line, and here is why
The fatherline is read from the Y chromosome, which only men carry. The motherline is read from mitochondrial DNA, which everyone has.
- One line · $3 — the motherline, which every test gives, or a fatherline on its own.
- Both lines · $5 — for anyone who has a Y result as well.
- Women can still map a fatherline. It is your father's line, and his Y result — or a brother's, a paternal uncle's or a male cousin's — carries exactly the same ancestors.
Nobody is charged for a line they cannot be given, which is why this is not one flat price.
A haplogroup follows one ancestor per generation. Ten generations back you have about a thousand ancestors, and a direct line traces exactly one of them — a real thread, but a thin one. It is not proof of ethnicity or nationality, and a branch map is partly a map of where archaeologists have dug. For your ancestry as a whole, the heatmaps above compare all of your DNA.
