Decode, Preserve, and Champion Biodiversity
Join the CampaignEvery species carries millions of years of evolutionary information within its DNA. Yet, many unique, endemic, and threatened species remain unsequenced, leaving important gaps in our understanding of biodiversity.
The Adopt-a-Genome campaign empowers individuals, academic institutions, and corporate partners to support high-coverage sequencing, genome assembly, annotation, and open genomic resource development for native and endangered species.
Generate genomic evidence that can support species prioritization, population studies, and conservation planning.
Create high-quality genomic datasets for evolutionary biology, biotechnology, agriculture, and comparative genomics.
Strengthen national biodiversity genomics through genomic resources focused on indigenous and regionally important species.
Build enduring open resources and connect sponsorship with publicly accessible genomic records and scientific outputs.
Identify a priority species based on biodiversity significance, conservation status, research value, or regional importance.
Coordinate ethical sample acquisition and high-quality DNA preparation for sequencing.
Perform high-coverage sequencing, genome assembly, annotation, and quality assessment.
Curate the resulting genome and integrate it into Bharat Genome Database resources.
Release genomic resources for scientific research, conservation, education, and innovation.
Champion a specific localized, endemic, threatened, or culturally significant species and support its genomic documentation.
Support genome sequencing while involving students and researchers in comparative genomics, annotation, and downstream analysis.
Align biodiversity and sustainability goals with measurable contributions to genomic science, conservation, and open bioinformatics resources.
Be part of a national effort to decode life, preserve biodiversity, and build an enduring genomic resource for India.
