Abstract excerpt
The genes that control basic aging mechanisms in mammals are unknown. By using two four-way crosses, each including a strain derived from wild, undomesticated stocks, we identified two quantitative trait loci that extend murine life spans by approximately 10%. In one cross, the longest-lived 18%...
