Basic Medicine:Secrets of the Sequence(26)
As techniques for analyzing gene sequences became more efficient and the data bases were filled in, researchers found they had some surprising results. What they found in organisms like fruit flies and worms, is that a relatively small number of genes seem to control the rate of aging. Biologists were beside themselves with excitement trying to find those genes, concerned maybe not so much with the longevity of worms as of humans. What people working on aging are trying to do is to improve both quality and quantity of life.
