Abstract excerpt
FOXO3 is a member of the FOXO (forkhead box class O) transcription factor family and has roles in cell cycle control, apoptosis, neural and hematopoietic cell differentiation and DNA repair among other functions. Several human studies provide evidence for an association between aging, longevity and variation in FOXO3. Recently variation has been identified in exon 2 of ovine FOXO3. This exon encodes the...
