Abstract excerpt
Knowledge of genes responsible for aging and death is a prerequisite for determining the relative contributions of the different evolutionary factors responsible for the limited duration of life. Polymorphism of these genes probably accounts for the variation in lifespan. Previously, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling this variation were mapped with the use of 98 recombinant inbred (RI) lines originating...
