Artificially stimulating retrotransposon activity increases mortality and accelerates a subset of aging phenotypes in Drosophila
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile sequences of DNA that can become transcriptionally active as an animal ages. Whether TE activity is simply a by-product of heterochromatin breakdown or can contribute toward the aging process is not known. Here, we place the TE gypsy under the control of the UA...
