Analysis of genes that control aging in C. elegans
Dr. Kenyon believes that the study of short-lived mutants of C. elegans may lead
to the identification of important life-span regulating genes. She proposes to
identify such genes. She will also import human genes into C. elegans short-lived
mutants in order to see which of theses genes best compensate for the lost worm
gene.
