A focused population profile of Greek Pontus, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Greek Pontus is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Greek Pontus 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 Greek Pontus.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Greek Pontus is Turkish Trabzon. Other nearby references include Greek Armenian Highland Erzurum, Turkish Gumushane, Turkish Rize, and Armenian Amasia. This gives the Greek Pontus profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Greek Pontus 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 Greek Pontus profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Greek Pontus average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Turkish Trabzon. Other nearby references include Greek Armenian Highland Erzurum, Turkish Gumushane, Turkish Rize, and Armenian Amasia.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Turkish Trabzon is the closest listed match to the Greek Pontus average after removing Greek Pontus itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Greek Pontus G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
