admixture analysis based on autosomal DNA tests. My Family Tree DNA results indicate 100% Middle Eastern (Jewish). My ancestors all came >from Europe, half of them Ashkenazi and half Sepharadi. The admixture models are a work in progress and should be taken with a big grain of salt. They are constantly being refined and changed based on the self-reported ethnicity of people who are tested, and on ancient DNA samples that continue to be analyzed. Many people have complained about inconsistent results. For example, a person may be reported one week as 100% British Isles and the next week the same company's report says he's 50% Scandinavian. I have also uploaded my DNA file to gedmatch.com. They offer several different admixture models with about a dozen variations. Each model variation gives different admixture results.
