GENOMEINDIA: CATALOGUING THE GENETIC VARIATION IN INDIANS
The Genome India Project is a Multi-Centre, Multi-Institutional Project which aims at performing
whole genome sequencing (WGS) of at least 10,000 individuals representing the Indian population
in order to create a detailed catalogue of genetic variations. The information from the catalogue
will be made publicly available through a web portal. The global databases till date have been
extremely Eurocentric and although India is the land of more than one-sixth of the world
population and harbours huge amount of genetic variation only comparable to Africa, it has been
largely underrepresented in genome-wide studies of variation. This project, after completion, will
be a value addition to the existing databases cataloguing genetic variations in different global
populations and will supplement the global scientific community’s long-standing demand of
having commensurate representation of populations from the Indian sub-continent on the global
map. It will be an immense scientific resource for the country and the international scientific
community as it moves to the future into the realm of genomics driven health sciences.
NIBMG is looking for motivated and bright individuals interested in exploring career
opportunities in this multi-organization national initiative, of which NIBMG has a lead role to
perform.
