ZSI, IIT Madras conduct genomic study, decodetap water
The Statesman
|October 29, 2025
In a significant breakthrough, scientists from the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI), Kolkata, and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) have unveiled the first comprehensive metagenomic profile of municipal drinking water in India.
A metagenomic profile is a snapshot of the genetic material from all organisms in a specific environment, revealing the community's composition, diversity, and functional potential.
According to the researchers, the study moves beyond conventional culture-based testing by applying metagenomic sequencing to public drinking-water systems for the first time in India. The research demonstrates that metagenomics can serve as a powerful surveillance tool, complementing traditional chemical and microbial testing mandated by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
