STUDY PROTOCOL: A MIXED-METHODS STUDY TO EVALUATE WHICH HEALTH VISITING MODELS IN ENGLAND ARE MOST PROMISING FOR MITIGATING THE HARMS OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES

Study protocol: a mixed-methods study to evaluate which health visiting models in England are most promising for mitigating the harms of adverse childhood experiences

Introduction Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is associated with poorer health outcomes throughout life.In England, health visiting is a long-standing, nationally implemented service that aims to prevent and mitigate the impact of adversity in early childhood, including for children exposed to ACEs.A range of health visiting service

Human-specific protein isoforms produced by novel splice sites in the human genome after the human-chimpanzee divergence

Abstract Background Evolution of splice sites is a well-known phenomenon that results in transcript diversity during human evolution.Many novel splice sites are derived from repetitive elements and may not contribute to protein products.Here, we analyzed annotated human protein-coding exons and identified human-specific splice sites that arose afte
