Update: Genetic variations associated with aging

News: Extending Lifespan    February 9, 2010
The DNA Dude has a background blog on telomeres and the genetic variation study, with illustration. The most recent and exciting news in this story was just published. It deals with the observation that telomere lengths differ in people of the same age. Although there is certainly an environmental affect on telomere length, it’s also clear [...]

New study: Genetic variations associated with aging

News: Extending Lifespan    February 8, 2010
Sometimes the shortest distance to new knowledge is a lot of repetitious work – like analyzing 500,000 genetic variations across the entire human genome. Researchers at King’s College London (UK), Leicester University (UK), and the University of Groningen (Netherlands) were on the trail of locating genes associated with aging. This is part of the (perhaps) [...]
