The Siculi, Sicanians, and Elymians were absorbed into the Greek and Punic populations, their DNA makes a significant portion of ours today.
The Siculi were likely pushed inland and marginalized, and contribute little to our DNA, but the other two populations were not.
All three populations were likely reduced in number by Greek and Punic colonists, and contribute little to our DNA today.

First how can we determine what the DNA of the Siculi was.
Like which haplogroups.
Since it seems to be studied based on Sicilians DNA which immagration movements from Greek Mainland,Greek Islands and Near East took place in Sicily it should
be possible to determine then if some of Sicilians with Greek ancestry have also Siculi ancestry.
If yes then it gives a hint at assimilation.

Different parts of east Sicily plot with different parts of Greece.
NE Sicily is genetically the same as Crete/Dodecanese while SE Sicily is intermediate to mainland Greece.
Greeks had, whether in ancient times or Byzantine, a presence in all Sicily but western Sicily displays more recent MENA with in some cases possible West European input in minor amounts.
I personally don't see Eastern Sicilians shifting toward central Italy but we don't know if Siculi were even comparable to today's central Italians.

The Greeks just did hellenization and assimilated others to their culture. The only exception would probably the Greek invasion of Persia

Greeks colonized Sicily (when there was nobody there), as well as the rest of Italy (along with Anatolians).
Why would Greece genocide their own people?
