Genomes Project

Whole Genome Sequencing (WSG) under the 'GenomeIndia: Cataloguing the Genetic Variation in Indians' project has started. The proposed target of WSG is to do it for 10,000 individuals representing the country's diverse population.

They acknowledged that their undertaking is controversial and said they would seek public involvement and the consideration of ethical, legal and social implications.

A group of 25 scientists on Thursday proposed an ambitious project to create a synthetic human genome, or genetic blueprint, in an endeavour that is bound to raise concerns over the extent to which human life can or should be engineered.

The recent turn by Pandora to refocus on its technology - a move that Westergren is expected to accelerate - offers some rays of hope, analysts say.

An international team of scientists has created the world's largest catalogue of genomic differences among humans, providing researchers with powerful clues to help them establish why some people are susceptible to various diseases.
