Gujarat has contributed 860 genome samples from 10 communities to the Genome India Project, which has recently achieved the milestone of sequencing 10,000 human genomes from 99 communities across India. The project, which is led by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), aims to identify and catalogue genetic variations in the Indian population, and to understand their implications for health and disease.

Genome India Project: A Landmark Initiative

The Genome India Project is a landmark initiative that seeks to create a comprehensive reference genome for Indians, which will help in developing personalized and precision medicine, as well as improving public health. The project involves 20 partner institutions, including Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre (GBRC), which is the nodal agency for Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

The project has collected and sequenced whole genomes of 10,000 individuals from 99 communities, representing all major linguistic and social groups in India. The project has also collected phenotypic and clinical data of the participants, such as height, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and medical history, to correlate with their genomic data.

The project has revealed several insights into the genetic diversity and structure of the Indian population, as well as the presence of population-specific and disease-related variants. The project has also identified potential genetic markers for various traits and conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cancer, which could lead to better diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.

Gujarat’s Contribution: A Significant Role

Gujarat has played a significant role in the Genome India Project, by providing 860 genome samples from 10 communities, namely Ahir, Brahmin, Darji, Koli, Lohana, Patel, Rabari, Rajput, Sindhi, and Vankar. These communities were selected based on their geographic, linguistic, and social diversity, as well as their availability and willingness to participate.

The GBRC, which is the principal investigator for Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, has collected the samples from various districts of Gujarat, such as Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Surat, Vadodara, and Valsad. The GBRC has also performed the DNA extraction, quality control, and library preparation of the samples, before sending them to the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad, which is the central sequencing facility for the project.

The GBRC has also analyzed the genomic data of the samples, using various bioinformatics tools and pipelines, to identify the genetic variations and their associations with phenotypic and clinical data. The GBRC has also published several research papers and reports based on the findings of the project, which have been shared with the DBT and the partner institutions.

Gujarat’s Benefits: A Bright Future

Gujarat stands to benefit from the Genome India Project, as it will help in understanding the genetic makeup and health profile of its population, and in developing customized and effective healthcare solutions. The project will also help in enhancing the biotechnology sector and the bio-economy of Gujarat, which is already one of the leading states in the country in terms of biotechnology research and innovation.

The project will also help in creating a pool of skilled and trained human resources, who can contribute to the advancement of genomics and bioinformatics in Gujarat and India. The project will also help in fostering collaborations and partnerships among various stakeholders, such as academia, industry, government, and society, to leverage the potential of genomics for the benefit of the people.
