A focused population profile of Gwich'in, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Gwich'in is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Gwich'in 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 Gwich'in.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Gwich'in is Yellowknife. Other nearby references include Koyukon, Chipewyan, Amerindian North, and Cree. This gives the Gwich'in profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Gwich'in 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 Gwich'in profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Gwich'in average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Yellowknife. Other nearby references include Koyukon, Chipewyan, Amerindian North, and Cree.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Yellowknife is the closest listed match to the Gwich'in average after removing Gwich'in itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Gwich'in G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
