Which of the following missions led to the establishment of a National Biobank at the CSIR–Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB), New Delhi, in July 2025?
Phenome India Project
The National Biobank set up at the CSIR–Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB), New Delhi, in July 2025 was established under the Phenome India Project.
The Phenome India Project is a CSIR initiative to build a comprehensive database of health and genomic data of the Indian population, supporting research into diseases and personalised medicine; the biobank stores biological samples for this purpose.
The other options name plausible-sounding programmes but are not the mission behind this biobank: the Genome India Project relates to whole-genome sequencing of Indians, while the Bharat GeneBank Initiative and India Biotech 2030 Mission are not the source of this CSIR–IGIB biobank.
Hence, the mission that led to the National Biobank was the Phenome India Project.
