Genome India Project
Genome India Project (GIP) is a research initiative led by the Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science's Centre for Brain Research and involves over 20 universities across the country in an effort to gather samples, compile data, conduct research, and create an ‘Indian reference genome' grid. Background 
The initiative is funded by Department of Biotechnology (DBT) to sequence at least 10,000 Indian genomes in phase 1. The goal of the research is to develop predictive diagnostic indicators for several high-priority diseases and other uncommon and genetic disorders. In phase 2, the project would collect genetic samples from patients with three broad categories - cardiovascular diseases, mental illness, and cancer. Participating institutions
