Genetic Variation in Organ System Decline Across the Drosophila Genetics Reference Panel
Genetic background has a significant impact on an organism's lifespan. Underlying this metric, ageing is characterised by a sequence of physiological systems decline that leads to death. Despite this, much of the ageing research performed on model organisms in the lab uses lifespan, rather than physiological decline, as a metric to measure ageing. Here, we sought to establish if differing…
