The Bio-technology Department of the Government of India announced the completion of sequencing of 10,000 Indian genomes. This initiative is part of the Genome India Project, which aims to create a ‘reference’ Indian human genome by analyzing the complete genomes from 10,000 individuals. Such an endeavor is likened to creating the first ever detailed map of India, showcasing its diverse genetic landscape.  India first sequenced a human genome in 2006, marking the beginning of its journey into genetic mapping. Though 10,000 individuals may not fully represent a country of nearly one and a half billion people, this effort provides a … Continue reading Genome India’s Landmark Achievement: 10,000 Sequences Unlock Potential for Precision Medicine”
