Background and Aims: Lifespan is influenced by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Limitations in studying those factors in model organisms of a single genetic background h
The genetics of lifespan determination is poorly understood. Most research has been done on short-lived animals and it is unclear if these insights can be transferred to long-lived mammals like humans
