Deriving Insight into Aging from Gene Networks (opens in new tab)

One can build a network of genes by function, by interactions between tissues, by association with specific disease, and so forth. Researchers here assemble a gene network considering associations with aging, age-related disease, and function, and attempt to derive some insight into what the shape of the network, its clusters and connectors, might say about processes of aging. They suggest that there are two broad categories of process at work here: firstly, genes that very broadly affect agi...
