Read Caleb Finch's "Longevity, Senescence and the Genome", at least twice.
Then, read the Encyclopedia Britannica and break the world bench press
record of 740 lbs. Just kidding. Seriously, I would do a medline search on
"aging" OR "ageing", AND "genetics", then limit to 1995-1998 review articles
only. Should give you a list of shortish reviews on the subject. Happy hunting,
