The database created under Genome India Project will be made available to researchers as digital public good through:-

  • Indian Biological Data Centre (IBDC) Portals
    • It archives and provides access to India's genomic data, enabling researchers to explore genetic variations and develop precise genomic tools and 
  • ‘Framework for Exchange of Data Protocols (FeED)’ .
    • Launched under Biotech-PRIDE Guidelines, FeED ensures ethical, transparent, and responsible sharing of high-quality, nation-specific genomic data.
      • Biotech-PRIDE Guidelines provide a framework for the responsible, ethical, and transparent sharing of biological and genomic data in India.

Significance and Future Outlook of Initiative

  • Revolutionizing Personalized Healthcare: by enabling treatments tailored to India’s demographics ensuring low-cost diagnostics and precise genetic studies 
  • Growth of Bioeconomy: India's bioeconomy grew from $10 billion in 2014 to $130 billion in 2024, with a target of $300 billion by 2030
    • India now ranks 12th globally in biotech and 3rd in the Asia-Pacific region.
  • Catalyzing Interdisciplinary Research: By providing insights, in agricultural, environmental, and industrial sectors
  • Catalyst for Healthcare Transformation: Drives advancements in mRNA vaccines, protein manufacturing, and genetic disorder treatments etc.

About Genome India Project:

  • Launched in 2020 by  Department of Biotechnology, 
  • Aim: to catalogue genetic variations across India's diverse population through large-scale genome sequencing.
  • Genome is made up of DNA and is  embedded in 23 pairs of chromosomes
