Abstract excerpt
A systematic genome-wide RNA interference screen was performed in the Caenorhabditis elegans lin-15b;eri-1 strain, which has an enhanced response to double-stranded RNA including the nervous system, to identify life-span regulatory factors. In total, 16,757 genes were examined, revealing 115 gene inactivations that extended life span. A more stringent longitudinal analysis revealed 18 gene inactivations that...
