Experimental evolution unveils a role for structural variants and sex-specificity in the genetic architecture of lifespan
Insights into the genetic basis of lifespan evolution can link evolutionary theory with an understanding of health, disease and adaptation. We leverage the power of >200 generations of experimental evolution in a seed beetle to unveil the genomic architecture of lifespan evolution. Replicated populations evolved under regimes favoring either a short or long life, resulting in a near doubling of…
