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 underrepresented 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 individuals interested to
explore career opportunities in this multi-organization national initiative, of
which NIBMG has a lead role to perform.
