CCMB authenticates Ayurveda-genome basis
A genome-wide study established correlation between Ayurvedic Prakriti classifications and genomic diversity. The study was done by the Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CCMB), a premier research organization in frontier areas of modern biology with the collaboration of other institutes.

A research team at the CCMB under the leadership of Dr Thangaraj has taken up the mega programme including people from different institutions. Well-trained Ayurvedic physicians screened about 3400 people and the same sets of people were also screened by software called AyuSoft developed by C-DAC, Bangalore.
People, whose Prakriti was in concurrence between the assessment by the Ayurvedic physician and by AyuSoft were recruited for the study. Their blood samples were collected by respective participating labs. Isolation of DNA and genomic studies were carried out at the CCMB using Affymetrix 6.0 SNP chip.
This chip will bring out single nucleotide difference in the genome among the tested samples. When the data is plotted, interestingly they fell into three groups, establishing the molecular basis for ancient classification.
This is the first genome-wide study to establish such correlation between Ayurvedic Prakriti classifications with genomic diversity. Analysis of these SNPs revealed that about 52 genes might be responsible for specifying the individual's doshas or prakritis.
