In a video-recorded statement to the Genomics Data Conclave here, Modi said the national database encapsulated the extraordinary genetic landscape of the country and promised to serve as an invaluable scientific resource.
The Genome India Data, that represents the genetic diversity in the country, will be available to researchers at the Indian Biological Data Centre (IBDC) through "managed access".
The GenomeIndia Project is an important milestone in the biotechnology revolution in India. I am told that through this project we have succeeded in creating a diverse genetic resource in the country," Modi said.
At the conclave organised by the Department of Biotechnology, Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh unveiled the Framework for Exchange of Data (FeED) Protocols for sharing of genetic data with researchers.
