The core genetic drivers of chronological aging in yeast are universal regulators of longevity.

ABSTRACT: The chronological lifespan of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has significantly contributed to our understanding of aging in eukaryotic cells. However, gaining a genome-wide perspective of this trait remains challenging due to substantial discrepancies observed across genome-wide gene-deletion screens. In this study, we systematically compiled nine chronological-lifespan datasets and evaluated how shared experimental variables influenced screen variability. Furthermore, we performed a meta-analysis to compile a ranked catalog of key processes and regulators driving chronological longevity in yeast, ensuring their robustness across diverse experimental setups. These consistent chronological aging factors were enriched in genes associated with yeast replicative lifespan and orthologs implica
