After a successful completion of the Human Genome Project, deciphering the mystery surrounding the human proteome posed a major challenge. Despite not being largely involved in the Human Genome Project, the Indian scientific community contributed towards proteomic research along with the global community. Currently, more than 76 research/academic institutes and nearly 145 research labs are involved in core proteomic research across India. The Indian researchers have been major contributors in drafting the "human proteome map" along with international efforts. In addition to this, virtual proteomics labs, proteomics courses and remote triggered proteomics labs have helped to overcome the limitations of proteomics education posed due to expensive lab infrastructure. The establishment of Proteomics Society, India (PSI) has created a platform for the Indian proteomic researchers to share ideas, research collaborations and conduct annual conferences and workshops. Indian proteomic research is really moving forward with the global proteomics community in a quest to solve the mysteries of proteomics. A draft map of the human proteome enhances the enthusiasm among intellectuals to promote proteomic research in India to the world.This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Proteomics in India.
人类基因组计划成功完成后，破解围绕人类蛋白质组的谜团成为一项重大挑战。尽管印度科学界在很大程度上未参与人类基因组计划，但它与全球科学界一道为蛋白质组学研究做出了贡献。目前，印度有76个以上的研究/学术机构和近145个研究实验室参与核心蛋白质组学研究。印度研究人员与国际力量共同成为绘制“人类蛋白质组图谱”的主要贡献者。除此之外，虚拟蛋白质组学实验室、蛋白质组学课程和远程触发式蛋白质组学实验室有助于克服因昂贵的实验室基础设施而造成的蛋白质组学教育限制。印度蛋白质组学协会（PSI）的成立为印度蛋白质组学研究人员提供了一个交流想法、开展研究合作以及举办年度会议和研讨会的平台。印度蛋白质组学研究正与全球蛋白质组学领域一道，努力解开蛋白质组学之谜。人类蛋白质组草图激发了知识分子的热情，促使他们向世界推广印度的蛋白质组学研究。本文是名为《印度的蛋白质组学》特刊的一部分。
