Concurrent Evolution of Antiaging Gene Duplications and Cellular Phenotypes in Long-Lived Turtles.

Abstract excerpt

There are many costs associated with increased body size and longevity in animals, including the accumulation of genotoxic and cytotoxic damage that comes with having more cells and living longer. Yet, some species have overcome these barriers and have evolved remarkably large body sizes and long lifespans, sometimes within a narrow window of evolutionary time. Here, we demonstrate through phylogenetic...
