GenAge Database

 |
Welcome to GenAge, a curated database of genes related to ageing. GenAge is divided into genes related to longevity and/or ageing in model organisms and ageing-related human genes. The section on human ageing-related genes includes the few genes directly related to ageing in humans and the best candidate genes obtained from model organisms. Human genes are thus considerably better annotated and may serve as a starting point for future studies, including genetic association studies, or even for exploiting clinical interventions in human ageing.
A list of genes that may modulate ageing in mammals and a list of genes analyzed for their possible association with human longevity are also available. Though it is deprecated, a list of genes related to ageing in model organisms clustered according to functional groups is available as well.
The schema of GenAge is available online as well as GenAge's statistics. Release notes for the current build are also available.
Downloading GenAge
A zipped XML dump of the latest stable GenAge build is available for download. A zipped tab-delimited ASCII dataset with all model organisms' genes is also available.
