Z_2_10 — Genetics of Aging and Progeria

Aging — the progressive decline in physiological function leading to increased vulnerability to disease and death — has a substantial genetic component: twin studies estimate heritability of human lifespan at ~25–30% (He

Z_2_02 — Telomere Biology & Genetics of Aging

Telomeres — repetitive DNA sequences (TTAGGG)ₙ capping the ends of linear chromosomes — serve as protective buffers against chromosome degradation, end-to-end fusion, and the progressive DNA loss inherent in the end-repl

Z_2_14 — Genetics of Longevity and Blue Zones

The genetics of human longevity — why some individuals live past 100 while most do not — is a field where heritability is modest, effect sizes are small, and environmental factors dominate, yet several genetic pathways h

L_3_10 — Telomeres Aging and Longevity Genetics

Telomeres — the repetitive DNA sequences (TTAGGG in vertebrates) capping the ends of linear chromosomes — protect genome integrity by preventing chromosome ends from being recognized as double-strand breaks and triggerin

R_3_14 — Evolution of Aging and Senescence

Aging — the progressive decline in physiological function and increase in mortality rate with time — is one of evolution's deepest puzzles: why would natural selection, which optimizes fitness, permit organisms to deteri
