Abstract excerpt
Two genetic methods were used to estimate the number of genes that potentially modulate longevity in the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina. First, life span of strains carrying mutations selected on criteria unrelated to senescence was measured. Second, strains bearing random mutations were generated by insertional mutagenesis. Life span of these strains was then measured. Surprisingly, both methods lead to...
