The Population Genomics Initiative (PGI) is a national scientific research program operating under the Novella Islands Specimen Repository Administration, with the ultimate goal of sequencing and analysing the genomes of a representative sample of the Novella Islands' population. In doing so, it is hoped that the subsequent scientific output may enhance the understanding of the wider field of human genetics, inform the development of personalised medicine, and allow for better long-term population health initiatives. Established by the Dell Government in 2021 as a continuation of its dedication to fostering scientific research and technological advancement, the Population Genomics Initiative builds on the legacy of the earlier Human Genome Initiative, which completed its first complete sequencing of the entire genome from a single human specimen in 2019.
