30 genes out of 40,000 extend lifespan
December 3, 2015 /
After combing through 40,000 genes from three different organisms, scientists have identified 30 that have a big effect on aging and lifespan. Influence only one of the 30 genes and the animals stay healthier and live longer.
Although they are found in different organisms, these so-called orthologous genes are closely related to each other–and they are all found in humans, too.
