Optimizing Dietary Restriction for Genetic Epistasis Analysis and Gene Discovery in C. elegans
20 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Dietary restriction (DR) increases mammalian lifespan and decreases susceptibility to many age-related diseases. Lifespan extension due to DR is conserved across a wide range of species. Recent research has focused upon genetically tractable model organisms such as C. elegans to uncover the genetic mechanisms that regulate the response to DR, in the hope that this information will provide insight into the...
