Explanation:

• Genome India project aims at cataloguing the Genetic Variation in Indians is a Pan India initiative focused on Whole Genome Sequencing of representative populations across India. The goal is to start with and execute whole genome sequencing and subsequent data analysis of 10,000 individuals representing the country’s diverse population.

• It would also open new vistas for advancing personalized medicine regimen in the country paving the way for predicting health and disease outcomes and modulating treatment protocols on the basis of the genome sequences. Besides, it would help in identifying the population groups which are more susceptible to various risk factors for certain diseases.
