Prakriti is a fundamental concept of Ayurveda categories an individual based on multiple parameters that include physical and clinical analysis and broadly classifies them as Pitta, Vata and Kapha. A sequence-based omics was able to capture the individual group of Prakriti. But it fails to capture the heterogeneous phenomics of Prakriti. To further precisely define and understand the Prakriti, we would propose a novel integrated method that will utilize sequence-based omics; transcriptome and metagenome and also nonsequence based omics; proteomics and metabolites abundance to distil down the information that may precisely correlate with single subject. We will also create a pipeline to integrate above defined omics data with structured and unstructured phenomics data of Prakriti.
