Other Ageing Factors List

Ageing phenotype observations are considered as experimental analysis. They confirm or reject the ageing relevance for particular ageing factor(s). For genes that are homologous to known ageing-relevant genes there is thus far no experimental evidence. They are considered as candidate genes.
Due to the different data structures of ageing phenotype observation data integrated from other databases we subdivide these observations into type 1 and 2. Observations of type 1 contain the phenotype data mostly unseparated within a single description. Observations of type 2 contain lifespan data in a more structured form (e.g.: separated into lifespan effect, lifespan change, lifespan value). Currently there might be an overlap between the observations of type 1 and 2 from the same source, namely GenAge. But we are working on a reduction of this overlap.
