Description: “INDEX-db” is a comprehensive resource of population-specific catalogue of genetic variations for Indian population. In the phase 1 of the development of INDEX-db, genetic variations from exome sequencing of 31 individuals from Southern states of India were obtained and catalogued. To make the database a comprehensive resource for disease genetics studies, expression data is integrated with the WES derived SNV, CNV and phased LD information on samples derived from a subset of individuals sequenced. Such an integrated reference database may be valuable to understand the genomic architecture underlying susceptibility to disease, detect familial or geographical clustering of the population, and thus aid efforts to understand disease genetics.Database URL: http://indexdb.ncbs.res.in/
