Article Synopsis
- Anemia is a widespread nutritional deficiency, particularly in India, where a significant number of adolescents—72 million—were affected in 2018, with Uttar Pradesh being particularly impacted.
- A study in a rural part of Uttar Pradesh found that 60% of 170 adolescents tested were anemic, with a higher prevalence in females (68.2%) than males (45.0%), mainly suffering from moderate anemia.
- Results indicate that deworming tablets alone are not sufficient to prevent anemia, as many of those who used them were still anemic.
Copy Number Alterations (CNAs) such as deletions and duplications; compose a larger percentage of genetic variations than single nucleotide polymorphisms or other structural variations in cancer genomes that undergo major chromosomal re-arrangements. It is, therefore, imperative to identify cancer-specific somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs), with respect to matched normal tissue, in order to understand their association with the disease. We have devised an accurate, sensitive, and easy-to-use tool, COPS, COpy number using Paired Samples, for detecting SCNAs.
