Date Time
Linking genetics and age-related diseases
Researchers have used human medical and genetic data from UK Biobank to investigate the genetics of age-related diseases
Genetics of ageing
Researchers at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and University College London (UCL) have analysed medical and genetic information openly available from UK Biobank to investigate the genetic associations of different age-related diseases.
Old age is associated with an increased risk of many diseases. As the average human lifespan increases, ageing is fast becoming a global challenge. Researchers are working to understand the genetics underlying ageing and the variations that may lead to age-related diseases.
