Spt4 promotes cellular senescence by activating non-coding RNA transcription in ribosomal RNA gene clusters

Summary: Genome instability can drive aging in many organisms. The ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) cluster is one of the most unstable regions in the genome and the stability of this region impacts replicative lifespan in budding yeast. To understand the underlying mechanism, we search for yeast mutants w...
