      abstract = {The release of the complete version of the human genome  sequence in 2003 has paved the way for defining gene  function and genetic background for phenotypic variation in  humans and allowed us to study the aging process in a new  light. This new volume results from that research and  focuses on the genetic and epigenetic process of aging.  While the interpretation of the genome data is still in its  initial stages, this new volume looks at the evolving  understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in cellular  processes, gene function associated with complex traits,  epigenetic components involve in gene control and the  creation of hypothesis-free genome-wide approaches.  Longevity Genes: A Blueprint for Aging explores the genetic  and genomic elements that can maintain a long life such as  DNA damage mechanisms, epigenetics and the way we can use  this knowledge to generate customized treatments. It  touches on some of the multidisciplinary approaches as well  as genomic-wide association technology used to analyze  complex traits. This book describes the hunt for genes  affecting complex traits using a high throughput  technology, with adequate consideration for the selection  of an appropriate population, applications of statistical  genetics and computational biology, and most importantly,  considering phenotype-genotype association studies.  Longevity Genes provides coverage of not only established  aspects of genetics and aging, but also new approaches and  perceptions in this important area of research.},
