AnnotationWith the genomic sequence of drosophila (fruit flies) and nematode worms available to researchers, high throughput technologies can be used to analyse the functions of many genes at once. This article outlines research being led by Professor Linda Partridge of University College London (UCL), to investigate two different ways of slowing down the ageing process that have emerged over the last two years: eating less, and energy control.
