A focused population profile of Nuer, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Nuer is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Nuer 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 Nuer.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Nuer is South Sudanese. Other nearby references include Dinka, Shilluk, Anuak Ethiopia, and Bari. This gives the Nuer profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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