A focused population profile of Persians from Fars, with closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Fars is the southwestern Iranian province historically tied to the name Persia. It includes Shiraz and sits at the heart of many Persian historical, linguistic, and cultural associations.
Persian, or Farsi, is the main language of Fars and the official language of Iran. The Fars reference is useful because it connects the broad Persian label to a specific southwestern Iranian region.
A Persian Fars genetic profile should be read as a regional Iranian Plateau reference. It can differ from Persian references in Isfahan, Yazd, northern Iran, or diaspora populations, so the closest-match table is valuable for local context.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Persian Fars is Persian Fars Shiraz. Other nearby references include Persian Iran Zoroastrian, Ajam Emirates, Persian Yazd, and Persian Isfahan. This gives the Persian Fars profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown models deep components, while the closest matches show modern similarity. Persian Fars is best interpreted as a southwestern Iranian reference with close ties to other Persian and Iranian Plateau groups.
The heatmap should emphasize southwestern Iran and neighboring Iranian Plateau reference zones, with close signals around Shiraz, Yazd, Isfahan, and related Persian entries.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Persian Fars Shiraz. Other nearby references include Persian Iran Zoroastrian, Ajam Emirates, Persian Yazd, and Persian Isfahan.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Persian Fars Shiraz is the closest listed match to the Persian Fars average after removing Persian Fars itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Persian Fars G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
