Scientists Unravel Mystery of Aging: Gene Length Is the Decisive Factor

Leave a Comment / Science / By

Scientists think they have cracked the secret of aging. Major genetic analysis of people, rodents and fish has revealed that the length of their DNA is directly related to their biological age. Shorter genes were associated with shorter lifespans, while longer genes were linked to better health and longevity. Scientists believe that if they can …
