A focused population profile of Yellowknife, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Yellowknife is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Yellowknife 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 Yellowknife.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Yellowknife is Gwich'in. Other nearby references include Chipewyan, Koyukon, Amerindian North, and Cree. This gives the Yellowknife profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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