GenAge

Contains genes associated with ageing and longevity in model organisms, genes potentially associated with human ageing, and a list of genes tested for their association with human longevity. GenAge reflects the current understanding of the genetic basis of ageing. It can be used as a platform for the systems biology of ageing. The database provides high-quality content thank to its manually curation realized by experts.
