A focused population profile of Han Chinese from Beijing with a northern China profile, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Han Chinese are the majority population of China, with major regional variation across northern, central, eastern, southern, southwestern, and southeastern China. This reference represents a Beijing Han profile with a northern China placement.
Mandarin Chinese is the national standard language of China and is based largely on northern Mandarin speech. Beijing is also a national capital and major urban center, so a Beijing reference should be read as a regional profile rather than a single average for all Han Chinese.
As a genetic reference, Han Beijing with a northern China profile is useful for comparing northern Han, Manchu, Shandong, Henan, Korean, and other northeast Asian references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Han Beijing (Northern China Profile) is Manchu Liaoning. Other nearby references include Manchu Aisin-Gioro, Han Shandong Jinan, Manchu Liaoning Jinzhou, and Manchu. This gives the Han Beijing (Northern China Profile) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
| Target: — | Distance |

The ancestry model gives deeper component proportions, while the closest matches show modern similarity. Han Beijing is best interpreted as a northern Chinese profile, close to Henan, Shandong, Liaoning Manchu, and other North China references.
The heatmap should emphasize northern China, especially Beijing, Hebei-adjacent regions, Henan, Shandong, Liaoning, and Manchu reference zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Manchu Liaoning. Other nearby references include Manchu Aisin-Gioro, Han Shandong Jinan, Manchu Liaoning Jinzhou, and Manchu.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Manchu Liaoning is the closest listed match to the Han Beijing (Northern China Profile) average after removing Han Beijing (Northern China Profile) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Han Beijing (Northern China Profile) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
