Abstract excerpt
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis makes no assumptions about the identity of genes involved in regulating aging. Moreover, it may be used as the first step in identifying such genes and, thus QTL analysis may be instrumental in formulating new hypotheses about aging. Genetic experiments, however, require hundreds to thousands of animals and are very expensive in mammals. Statistical power to detect...
