Genetic Cartography of Longevity in Humans and Mice: Current Landscape and Horizons - PMC

Aging is a complex and highly variable process. Heritability of longevity among humans and other species is low, and this has given rise to the idea that it may be futile to search for gene variants that control rates of aging. We argue that the problem ...
