'One Day One Genome' aims to publicly release annotated genomes of microbes to enhance understanding of their scientific and industrial potential: Dr Rajesh S Gokhale
Introducing the ‘One Day One Genome’ initiative of the Government of India, Dr Rajesh S Gokhale, Secretary Department of Biotechnology (DBT), the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India; Director General, Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council (BRIC) & Chairman, Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) said that this initiative from DBT and BIRAC aims to publicly release annotated genomes of microbes to enhance understanding of their scientific and industrial potential.
Virtually addressing the gathering of 5th Genomics India Conference (GIC) jointly organised by Genotypic Technology and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and co-organised by Dhitiomics Technologies and QTLomics Technologies centred on the theme “The Indian Genomics Journey” at the J.N. Tata Auditorium, IISc, Bengaluru on August 12, 2025, Dr Gokhale identified genomics to play pivotal role in personalised treatment, pandemic preparedness, food security, and biodiversity conservation.
He discussed the use of multiomics alongside genomics to create digital twin models, promoting precision medicine and personalized therapies. He highlighted the GenomeIndia project, which has conducted whole genome sequencing for 10,000 healthy individuals, archived at the Indian Biological Data Centre, and recognised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a significant biotechnology milestone.
GIC 2025 witnesses launch of India's first T2T Telomere to Telomere plant genome for Basmati rice and India's first T2T human genome
India’s first T2T plant genome Indian Punjab Basmati Rice project, which was taken up in collaboration with Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN), Thiruvarur was released at the 5th Genomics India Conference, (GIC) 2025, held between August 12 and 14 in Bengaluru.
Releasing the project details at the GIC 2025, organised by Genotypic Technology and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and co-organised by Dhitiomics Technologies and QTLomics Technologies on the theme “The Indian Genomics Journey” at the J.N. Tata Auditorium, IISc, Bengaluru on August 12, 2025, Dr Sudha Rao, Co-Founder, Genotypic Technology and Founder of Dhiti Omics Technology, pointed out that India’s first T2T (Telomere-to-Telomere) plant genome for Basmati rice was developed in collaboration with Dr S Srivignesh, Assistant Professor of Horticulture at the School of Life Sciences, CUTN, Thiruvarur using genome editing technology, specifically CRISPR-Cas, a significant advancement in agricultural science.
This technology allows for precise modifications to the plant’s genetic material without introducing foreign DNA. Specifically, two rice varieties, DRR Rice 100 (Kamala) and Pusa DST Rice 1, were developed using this approach, aiming to enhance yield, climate resilience, and resource efficiency.
5th edition of Genomics India Conference 2025 brings together 60+ experts creating unrivaled hub for knowledge
Genotypic Technology and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in association with Dhitiomics Technologies and QTLomics Technologies organised the 5th edition of Genomics India Conference (GIC) 2025 on the theme “The Indian Genomics Journey” at the J.N. Tata Auditorium, IISc, Bengaluru on August 12, 2025.
In his inaugural address Prof. Samir Brahmachari, widely celebrated as the Father of Genomics in Indian academia and the Founder Director of CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB), said “India’s genomics community grew from a modest beginning in the 1990s to a thriving, multidisciplinary research landscape actively contributing to global genomics knowledge. The integrative approach combined molecular biology, structural biology, informatics, and translational research, shaping genomics research policies and institutions in India and inspiring new generations of scientists.”
Recalling his days at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Dr Brahmachari talked about the Open Source Drug Discovery (OSDD) project that has exemplified a translational research platform by harnessing the power of global collaboration, computational biology, and open innovation to address complex challenges in drug discovery for neglected diseases, aligning with the vision of “affordable healthcare for all.”
