Papers and Relevant Publications

The Human Ageing Genomic Resources and its associated resources have been featured in several publications, including official descriptions and a few analyses by HAGR's authors, and numerous publications by other researchers.

Official descriptions of HAGR

The official, academic paper describing the Human Ageing Genomic Resources is:

de Magalhaes, J. P., et al. (2005) "HAGR: the Human Ageing Genomic Resources." Nucleic Acids Res 33(Database Issue):D537-D543.

We prefer, however, that authors using our resources cite a more recent description of HAGR as it not only details numerous recent updates and enhancements but also as a way to credit new contributors not included in our previous description of HAGR:

de Magalhaes, J. P., et al. (2009) "The Human Ageing Genomic Resources: online databases and tools for biogerontologists." Aging Cell 8(1):65-72.

Finally, we ask that authors employing only our AnAge database cite:

de Magalhaes, J. P., and Costa, J. (2009) "A database of vertebrate longevity records and their relation to other life-history traits." Journal of Evolutionary Biology 22(8):1770-1774.

Analyses of HAGR datasets by its authors

We conducted a number of broad analyses using HAGR databases. Firstly, we obtained a visualization and interpretation of the genomic and proteomic network of ageing using GenAge:

de Magalhaes, J. P., and Toussaint, O. (2004) "GenAge: a genomic and proteomic network map of human ageing." FEBS Lett 571(1-3):243-247.

An analysis of molecular evolution rates of GenAge was done employing human-chimpanzee gene pairs:

de Magalhaes, J. P., and Church, G. M. (2007) "Analyses of human-chimpanzee orthologous gene pairs to explore evolutionary hypotheses of aging." Mech Ageing Dev 128(5-6):355-364.

Finally, we took advantage of the AnAge dataset to evaluate the relationship between metabolic rates, growth rates, developmental timing, and longevity:

de Magalhaes, J. P., et al. (2007) "An analysis of the relationship between metabolism, developmental schedules, and longevity using phylogenetic independent contrasts." J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 62(2):149-160.
