The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has published graphical summaries, infographics, and comprehensive data on over 100 bacterial genomes as part of the ‘One Day One Genome’ project
The genome, which is the genetic material, consists of a distinctive sequence of DNA or RNA in an organism. Every sequence is made up of chemical components called nucleotide bases.
Establishing the sequence of bases is referred to as "genomic sequencing" or, more simply, "sequencing."
‘A Genome Each Day’ initiative
It was introduced by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and the Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council (BRIC) in November 2024, to highlight India’s abundant microbial diversity and its crucial contributions to environmental sustainability, agriculture, and human health.
The project is managed by BRIC-National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG), located in West Bengal.
Information is provided by 13 BRIC institutions and two independent entities:
Significance
It highlights the significance of microorganisms in biogeochemical processes, soil health, nutrient recycling, pest management, and human immune function and digestion.
Genome sequencing will reveal microbial capabilities like enzyme synthesis, resistance to antimicrobials, and the production of bioactive compounds, supporting environmental conservation, agricultural progress, and public health.
Every genome release will feature infographics, annotation information, and practical applications, enhancing microbial science's accessibility and significance for researchers and the broader public.
