Subfield history: use of model organisms in the search for human aging genes.

Abstract excerpt

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) started a program in 1993 to identify genes involved in the regulation of longevity in a variety of species, including yeast, nematodes, fruit flies, and mice. The initial success of this program has attracted the interest of many investigators working with these organisms. Of primary interest are single-gene mutants that have identified genes and processes involved in...
