New Technique Helps ID Genes Related to Aging

Caption

Researchers from NC State University have developed a new method for determining which genes are relevant to the aging process. The work was done in C. elegans, an animal species widely used as a model for genetic and biological research, but the finding has broader applications for research into the genetics of aging. This image is of the head of a C. elegans showing fluorescently labeled protein aggregates.
