GenomeIndia: Cataloguing the Genetic Variation in Indians"
The GenomeIndia 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 under-represented in genomewide
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.
We are looking for a motivated and bright individual interested to explore career opportunities in this
multi-organization national initiative, of which NIBMG has a lead role to perform.
