Dominican is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Dominican with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Dominican.
What is Dominican DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Dominican is Cuban Mestizo (Highly SSA-Mixed). Other nearby references include Ramapough Lenape (European+SSA-Mixed), Hassanamisco Nipmuc (European+SSA-Mixed), Cuban Mulato, and Brazilian Pardo. This gives the Dominican profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
