Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Yeast lacking Asf1 are short lived, having a median replicative life span of about 7 generations in comparison to the median life span of about 27 generations for wild-type yeast in multiple yeast backgrounds. Asf1 mutants also exhibit some phenotypes characteristic of aging.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Replicative lifespan is about 74% lower.
