Human aging gene found in flies

(Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council) Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have found a fast and effective way to investigate important aspects of human aging.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and the Open University have discovered a gene in fruit flies that means flies can now be used to study the effects aging has on DNA.

They demonstrate the value of this model in helping us to understand the aging process.
