Assessing natural variation in genes affecting Drosophila lifespan
... gerontogen: A gene that affects lifespan is sometimes called a ‘gerontogene’. Note, however, that genes that affect longevity are often pleiotropic, i.e. also affect other traits than lifespan. Thus, classifying genes as ‘gerontogenes’ is somewhat ambiguous. heritability: The proportion of the pheno ...
