PGIMER issues tender for next-gen genome sequencing research
PGIMER is starting a project to study the genes of children with complex health problems.
They will use a special technology to read the complete genetic code of 60 children.
This helps doctors find out what causes certain diseases, like Kawasaki disease, which are hard to diagnose.
The project will help doctors understand diseases better and create treatments that are customized for each patient based on their unique genes.
This will involve analyzing DNA, preparing samples, and using computers to study the genetic information.
PGIMER issued a new tender for Next Generation Whole Genome-Exome Sequencing.
The project aims to boost research and diagnostic capabilities.
It will focus on analysing 60 samples of children.
The project will study rare and common genetic variants in paediatric disorders.
Dr. Rakesh Kumar Pilania is the principal investigator of the project.
