A focused population profile of Yemeni Arabs from Amran, their northwestern Yemeni background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Amran is a governorate in northwestern Yemen, near the Yemeni highlands and north of Sana'a. A Yemeni Arab Amran reference represents a regional Yemeni profile rather than a general average for all Yemenis.
The population is Arabic-speaking, using Yemeni Arabic varieties connected with the northern highland region. Yemen's highlands have a long local history distinct from both coastal Yemen and the Gulf states.
Because Amran is a northern Yemeni highland reference, it can help separate regional Yemeni structure from broader Arabian Peninsula averages.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Yemeni Arab Amran is Saudi Arab Jizan. Other nearby references include Yemeni Arab Amanat Al Asimah, Yemeni Arab Dhamar, Saudi Arab Hejaz, and Yemeni Arab Al Bayda. This gives the Yemeni Arab Amran profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry model gives deep component structure, while the closest-match table shows whether the Amran profile clusters closer to other Yemeni highland references or broader Arabian groups.
The heatmap should focus on Yemen and southern Arabia, especially northern Yemeni and nearby Arabian Peninsula references.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Saudi Arab Jizan. Other nearby references include Yemeni Arab Amanat Al Asimah, Yemeni Arab Dhamar, Saudi Arab Hejaz, and Yemeni Arab Al Bayda.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Saudi Arab Jizan is the closest listed match to the Yemeni Arab Amran average after removing Yemeni Arab Amran itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Yemeni Arab Amran G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
