A focused population profile of Turkmen, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Turkmen is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Turkmen 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 Turkmen.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Turkmen is Turkmen Golestan (Intermediate Profile). Other nearby references include Turkmen Uzbekistan, Tajik, Tajik Samarkand, and Uzbek Tashkent. This gives the Turkmen profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Turkmen 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 Turkmen profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Turkmen average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Turkmen Golestan (Intermediate Profile). Other nearby references include Turkmen Uzbekistan, Tajik, Tajik Samarkand, and Uzbek Tashkent.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Turkmen Golestan (Intermediate Profile) is the closest listed match to the Turkmen average after removing Turkmen itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Turkmen G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
