Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation ( CRG ) observed thousands of genetically identical worms living in a controlled environment.
Knocking down some of the genes extended a worm's lifespan, while knocking down others shortened it.
The study traced the primary source of this variation to changes in the mRNA content in germline cells (those involved in reproduction) and somatic cells.
