Gene co-expression network reveals highly conserved, well-regulated anti-ageing mechanisms in old ant queens

2021-02-15

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary theories of ageing predict a reduction in selection efficiency with age, a so-called ‘selection shadow’, due to extrinsic mortality decreasing effective population size with age. Classic symptoms of ageing include a deterioration in transcriptional regulation and protein homeostasis. Understanding how ant queens defy the trade-off between fecundity and lifespan remains a major challenge for the evolut...
