Abstract excerpt
Limited life span and senescence are universal phenomena, controlled by genetic and environmental factors whose interactions both limit life span and generate variation in life span between individuals, populations and species. To understand the genetic architecture of longevity it is necessary to know what loci affect variation in life span, what are the allelic effects at these loci and what molecular...
