A focused population profile of Rai, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Rai is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Rai 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 Rai.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Rai is Sherpa Rolwaling Himal. Other nearby references include Tamang Tashinam, Tibetan, Sherpa Khumbu, and Sherpa West Bengal. This gives the Rai profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Rai 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 Rai profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Rai average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Sherpa Rolwaling Himal. Other nearby references include Tamang Tashinam, Tibetan, Sherpa Khumbu, and Sherpa West Bengal.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Sherpa Rolwaling Himal is the closest listed match to the Rai average after removing Rai itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Rai G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
