The Genomic Basis of Postponed Senescence in Drosophila melanogaster.

The Genomic Basis of Postponed Senescence in Drosophila melanogaster.

Natural populations harbor considerable genetic variation for lifespan. While evolutionary theory provides general explanations for the existence of this variation, our knowledge of the genes harboring naturally occurring polymorphisms affecting lifespan is limited. Here, we assessed the genetic div...
