DNAtribes have improved there data and differentiate very good between the different Genes shared. They give you a very specific and most detailed analyses of the genetic relations.

They have now a huge Data available and improved their whole Calculation.
About the so called "Persian" component.
The best Term for this component would be "South Caspian" since it obviously follows a southern route from West Caspian to East. It most probably contained in the ancient Median, Parthian and some Scythian groups.
The "North Caucasus" component is a connection between the North Caucasus and Pontic-Caspian Steppes.
The "Indus Valley" component seems to be a more "Western Central- South Asian" like component.
The "Eastmediterranean" component seems to be Levant-Transcaucasus specific.
"Iberian" is a general South(west) European component peaking in Iberians.

DNATribes is calling the most prominent component in Kurds the "Persian" component (or "world region") regardless of the fact that it is peaking in Kurds (39.5%) and not in Iran (22.0%). Turkmen also have a high portion of this component (32.6%). The description of this component states: "Lake Urmia, Zagros and Elburz Mountains." Lake Urmia is not Persian, the Zagros Mountains are not Persian. Some people still seem to have problems to distinguish between "Iranic" and "Persian"
