  • Eukaryotic genes involved in adult lifespan regulation
    Publication number: 20030190312
    Abstract: The present invention relates to regulation of adult lifespan in eukaryotes. More particularly, the present invention is directed to methods of assaying for genes, gene products, and genes in pathways controlled by such genes and gene products, using RNAi and microarray analysis, that regulate lifespan (e.g., extend or truncate adult lifespan) in eukaryotes such as invertebrates (e.g., C. elegans), plants, and mammals, e.g., humans. For example, the present invention is directed to genes encoding components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and genes encoding glycolysis enzymes, which are involved in lifespan regulation, and genes and gene products in pathways controlled by such genes.
