Researchers from CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology have combined Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) with the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference genome, offering a complete, gap-free view of the genome. This innovative approach resolves structural variations in repetitive regions, revolutionising genetic diagnostics and research.
Researchers from the Central University of Jammu have uncovered a potential genetic link between the biological clock and hypertension in the Indian sub-population. They found that the biological clock plays a significant role in regulating hypertension, highlighting its importance as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in the ageing population.

On 9 January 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the Genome India Project, a groundbreaking initiative representing the sequencing of 10,000 genomes from 83 distinct population groups across India’s vast demographic landscape. This landmark achievement is a significant step toward a health genomics revolution in the country.
The MIRA lab works at the interface of molecular biology and evolution. They are looking for a candidate who holds a PhD (recently submitted thesis is also fine) and has a strong grounding in either experimental evolutionary biology or molecular …
