Abstract excerpt
We developed a high-throughput screening system that allows identification of genes prolonging life span in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The method is based on isolating yeast mother cells with an extended number of cell divisions as indicated by the increased number of bud scars on their surface. Fluorescently labeled wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) was used for specific staining of bud scars....
