A focused population profile of Andi people with a Transcaucasian profile, their Caucasus background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Andi people are a Northeast Caucasian group from Dagestan, but this World Genetics reference is labeled Transcaucasian profile because it falls closer to Georgian, Meskhetian, Udi, Armenian, and southern Caucasus-adjacent references than the separate Andi Ciscaucasian profile.
Andi is an Andic Northeast Caucasian language, while Avar and Russian may also be used. The Transcaucasian label should be read as a genetic comparison pattern, not as a statement that Andi identity is Georgian or Armenian.
As a genetic reference, Andi Transcaucasian is useful for comparison with Georgian Kartlian, Karata Transcaucasian, Georgian Kakhetian, Turkish Meskhetian Ardahan, Turkish Meskhetian Georgia, Udi, Georgian Tushetian, Georgian Khevsurian, Turkish Erzurum, and Armenian Shamakhi.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Andi (Transcaucasian Profile) is Georgian Kartlian. Other nearby references include Karata (Transcaucasian Profile), Georgian Kakhetian, Turkish Meskhetian Ardahan, and Udi. This gives the Andi (Transcaucasian Profile) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Andi Transcaucasian is best interpreted as an Andi-related Caucasus profile shifted toward Georgian, Meskhetian, Udi, Erzurum, and Armenian-adjacent references.
The heatmap should emphasize Dagestan, Georgia, Kartli, Kakheti, Tusheti, Khevsureti, Meskheti, Udi regions, Erzurum, Shamakhi, and the wider Caucasus.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Georgian Kartlian. Other nearby references include Karata (Transcaucasian Profile), Georgian Kakhetian, Turkish Meskhetian Ardahan, and Udi.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Georgian Kartlian is the closest listed match to the Andi (Transcaucasian Profile) average after removing Andi (Transcaucasian Profile) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Andi (Transcaucasian Profile) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
