Regulation of Drosophila Lifespan by bellwether Promoter Alleles
Abstract Longevity varies among individuals, but how natural genetic variation contributes to variation in lifespan is poorly understood. Drosophila melanogaster presents an advantageous model system to explore the genetic underpinnings of longevity, since its generation time is brief and both the g...
