Abstract excerpt
Aging, and the deterioration of biological performance that characterizes it, are routinely assumed to be due to a progressive global loss of homeostasis and a general increase in dysregulation [1-4] . We tested this hypothesis directly by measuring age-specific variability in gene expression. Analysis of the transcriptional activity of six genes in various inbred lines of Drosophila melanogaster unexpectedly...
