Project genome completed the survey of many of the population. India didn't participate in the human genome project. The 98% gene sequence is common across all the species in the animal kingdom. The variation between human and animals are 2%. The original gene profile is maintained in Indian tribal population. Some of the tribal populations in India have maintained the original identity of the gene profile, with out any cross breeding. This will help us to understand the prevalence or absence of specific disease profile. This will help in the emerging area of pharmacogenetics for customizing the drugs for specific ailments with personalization. There is no particular single gene which determines emotion and intelligence. For example, for Schizophrenia, scientists have identified the responsible gene which causes disturbance and emotion. It may not be a single function which relates to Emotion and intelligence, which require to be identified with the factors like attention, focus, motivation and proper nutrition
