- Title
A Proposal to Sequence Genomes of Unique Interest for Research on Aging.
- Authors
De Magalhães, João Pedro; Sedivy, John M.; Finch, Caleb E.; Austad, Steven N.; Church, George M.
- Abstract
The article proposes the sequencing of genomes of unique interest for aging research. It emphasizes that genome sequencing will initiate a study on the mechanisms behind the evolution of longevity in mammals and in primates in particular. It cites that the proposed genomic resources will provide new tools for researchers in studying the evolution of longevity and in establishing the naked mole-rat as a unique model for biomedical research.
