Age or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a length-dependent decrease in gene expression

Summary: DNA damage has long been advocated as a molecular driver of aging. DNA damage occurs in a stochastic manner, and is therefore more likely to accumulate in longer genes. The length-dependent accumulation of transcription-blocking damage, unlike that of somatic mutations, should be reflected...
