Welcome to
The Iranic Genomes Project

Dedicated to the study of all Iranic Speakers, past and present.

About Our Project

Here at the Iranic Genomes Project, our goal is to expand the number of samples from Iranian-speaking populations, in order to further our understanding of the Iranic Ethnogenesis. Unfortunately, this has not been done in an expansive or appropriate way by until now, so it is up to us to rectify this error.

Our Work So Far

DNA Research

Using the available ancient samples from a variety of different studies, we endeavour to investigate the underlying genomic structure of modern Iranian-speaking groups using cutting-edge population genomics software such as ADMIXTOOLS and ADMIXTURE.

New Modern Samples

We have worked non-stop to acquire a number of high coverage modern samples from understudied groups of Iranian-speakers such as Kurds and Tats to rectify errors in previous studies focusing on the population structure of Iran.

Sponsors and Volunteers

Our endeavours have lead us to both sponsor and find sponsors for volunteers who cannot afford to purchase Whole Genome Sequencing kits on their own. We also support volunteers who fund themselves and greatly encourage this.
