to establish whether a drop of blood or tiny piece of meat belongs to human or animal, and if animal, to which species of the animal. CCMB has already using this approach in providing the service to the society and has resolved more than 50 cases forwarded by various wildlife curators and crime investigation agencies. 4. DNA based molecular Diagnostics There are several genetic disorders prevalent in our country. The problem has become much more serious because there are no adequate facilities for diagnosing these disorders. Dr Lalji Singh and his group have set up diagnostic services for many genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia, Alzheimer’s disease, BCD, male infertility, pancreatitis, Robert’s syndrome, etc. Research by Dr Lalji Singh and his colleagues further helped in better understanding of the role played by genetic factors in these diseases and the possibility of developing better diagnostic tools for the detection and the management of such diseases. These services will be of tremendous help to common man in reducing their agonies whenever therapeutic intervention is possible. 5. Genetic affinities of Andaman Islanders Dr Lalji Singh and his group have undertaken the study on genetic diversity in primitive tribes of India including the tribal populations of Andaman and Nicobar Islands using Y- chromosomal markers and mtDNA sequences. Data indicates that the Andamanese have closer affinities to Asian than to African population and suggests that they are the descendants of the early Paleolithic colonizers of Southeast Asia – the hunter gatherers and the first migrants moved out of Africa about 60,000-100,000 years ago. These findings have revolutionized the ways of thinking about the origin of man in terms of their evolution and migration from place to place. 6. Genome Foundation and its activities Human disease and suffering are as old as humanity and genetic disorders are most distressing since there is no cure available for them and the diseases get transmitted across the generations. The problem of genetic disorders in India is enormous. Indians are also genetically susceptible to common diseases, such as, diabetes and heart diseases. Thus, prevention of disability is the only option for these disorders. However, the diagnostic services for them are mostly focused to cater the urban India. A group of intellectuals with high professional integrity have come together to establish this Foundation under Dr Lalji Singh as its Managing Director, which will provide such diagnostic services to both rural and urban populations of the country. The Foundation will function with people’s participation and utilize the voluntary services of retired scientists and professionals. The Foundation will establish various centres across the length and breadth of India to take these services to the masses through networking with various NGOs and socially committed organizations. The Foundation is already registered under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956. A Foundation stone was laid recently by Dr Lalji Singh for a building complex for “Establishing a Rural Centre of Genome Foundation in Northern India” in Jaunpur, UP, India. 4
