Deleterious mutations show increasing negative effects with age in Drosophila melanogaster

BACKGROUND: In order for aging to evolve in response to a declining strength of selection with age, a genetic architecture that allows for mutations with age-specific effects on organismal performance is required. Our understanding of how selective effects of individual mutations are distributed acr...
