A focused population profile of Formosan, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Formosan is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Formosan 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 Formosan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Formosan is Ami. Other nearby references include Atayal, Igorot Kankanaey, Dusun Brunei, and Mentawai. This gives the Formosan profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Formosan average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Formosan profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Formosan average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Ami. Other nearby references include Atayal, Igorot Kankanaey, Dusun Brunei, and Mentawai.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Ami is the closest listed match to the Formosan average after removing Formosan itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Formosan G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
