A focused population profile of Sicilian, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Sicilian is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Sicilian 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 Sicilian.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Sicilian is Sicilian Central. Other nearby references include Italian Campania Salerno (Campanian), Italian Campania Naples (Campanian), Sicilian West, and Sicilian Palermo. This gives the Sicilian profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Sicilian 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 Sicilian profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Sicilian average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Sicilian Central. Other nearby references include Italian Campania Salerno (Campanian), Italian Campania Naples (Campanian), Sicilian West, and Sicilian Palermo.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Sicilian Central is the closest listed match to the Sicilian average after removing Sicilian itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Sicilian G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
